my first meeting with a foreigner
胡德青
last sunday i went to the city of wui. when i entered a tailor＇s shop, i found there were lots of people because there was a fashion show①.suddenly i noticed that a middle-aged foreigner was gesticulating② to a saleswoman and pointing to a new shirt. it was clear that he wanted to buy the shirt, but he did not know the price, for he did not know chinese. and the saleswoman did not know english. though she wrote the price on the paper, he was still puzzled.
when i saw this, i went up to them. i asked the saleswoman the price of the shirt first and then i said to the foreigner in english, “one hundred and forty-eight yuan.” hearing this he said to me, “oh, thank you! but it＇s too epensive. would you please ask her if she can make it cheaper? if she can , i will buy ten.” i told her what he said , and she agreed. in the end the foreigner paid 1,200 yuan for ten shirts.
before he left, he gave me a nice pen. i thanked him and said to him , “welcome to our city . good-bye!”
