Alex goes to buy fruits. He asks the shopkeeper*, "What's the price of bananas and apples?" The Shopkeeper answers, "Banana is 2 dollars a kilo and apples are 4 dollars a kilo. At the same time, a woman comes to the shop and also asks the same question.
The shopkeeper says, "Banana is
0.5 dollar a kilo and apples are 1 dollar a kilo." Hearing this, Alex just can't believe what he hears. "Why are the prices for the woman different?" he thinks. The shopkeeper finds this and asks Alex to wait here.
"Thank you, God, today my children will be very happy after eating fruits."The woman pays for fruits, and murmurs* excitedly leaving the shop.
After the woman leaves, the shopkeeper looks towards Alex and says, "In the name of god, I didn't deceive* you." After stopping for a moment, he goes on, "The woman you see just now is a poor widow, who looks after four kids alone. She lives in my neighborhood. I tried to help her, but she just didn't take any kind of help from anyone."
"Then I think of this way to help her. In this way, she doesn't have to feel that someone shows pity* for her. ____"
"In fact, whenever this lady comes, more people will come to my shop. Maybe she also brings luck to me."
After hearing all of this, Alex hugs the shopkeeper. "I will also be happy after eating the fruits." he says. Then he leaves with the fruits.
