ذَهَبَ أَحْمَدُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فِي الصَّبَاحِ. هُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ فَوَاكِهَ وَخُضْرَوَاتٍ. قَالَ لِلْبَائِعِ: مَرْحَبًا، كَمْ سِعْرُ التُّفَّاحِ؟ قَالَ الْبَائِعُ: التُّفَّاحُ طَازَجٌ وَلَذِيذٌ، السِّعْرُ دِينَارَانِ لِلْكِيلُو. اشْتَرَى أَحْمَدُ تُفَّاحًا وَبُرْتُقَالًا وَطَمَاطِمَ. ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ وَهُوَ سَعِيدٌ. قَالَتْ زَوْجَتُهُ: شُكْرًا يَا أَحْمَدُ، الْفَوَاكِهُ جَمِيلَةٌ جِدًّا!
