Lost in Translation at the Market

Tom goes to the market. He wants to buy apples. He says, "I want two applos," but the seller looks confused. Tom feels bad and hides his face. He thinks, "I make mistakes. People laugh at me."

A woman near Tom smiles and says, "It is 'apples.' Here, I help you." She shows him the apples and says the word slowly. Tom repeats, "Apples."

The next day, Tom goes back to the market. He says, "Good morning! I want two apples, please." The seller smiles and gives him the apples. Tom feels happy and makes new friends. He says, "Thank you!"
