This pink scarf on the right? Shopkeeper: Here you go, you can try it on. It's Rs. 450. Disha: It's beautiful but very expensive. Can you please lower it to Rs. 250? Shopkeeper: No ma'am, do you see the quality of this cloth? It's this soft because it's made from real silk, no mixing. We don't bargain. Disha: It's good quality, but it's also easily spoilt so I'll have to be careful with it. If you can sell it for 250 I am ready to buy it. Shopkeeper: Okay, I can give it at a special price for you, for Rs. 400. Disha: No, let it be. I don't have so much money on me. If you give it for 350 then I can still buy it. Shopkeeper: All right.
