Shopping in the Dime Store 在低價商店購物

    A: I've looked, but I didn't see any black ink.
    B: Then I'm afraid there's none in stock.
    A: Well, I'll settle for blue-black. I'll also take a dozen airmail envelopes.
    B: They come in packages of ten or twenty.
    A: Give me a package of twenty, then. And where do I find shoelaces?
