시장에서
Buying fruit at a market, with a price that comes down a little.
Numbers and prices. Korean has two sets of numbers: native numbers for counting things (사과 다섯 개) and Sino-Korean numbers for money (오천 원). Both appear in this text.
토요일 오후에 지은이는 엄마와 같이 시장에 가요. 시장에는 사람이 많아요. 가게 아저씨들도 아주 바빠요.
과일 가게에 사과와 딸기가 있어요. 사과는 다섯 개에 오천 원이에요. 딸기는 한 팩에 칠천 원이에요.
엄마는 사과를 사요. 그리고 주인 아저씨한테 말해요. "아저씨, 딸기도 살게요. 좀 싸게 해 주세요."
아저씨가 웃어요. "좋아요. 딸기는 육천 원만 주세요." 엄마도 웃어요.
집에 와서 지은이는 딸기를 씻어요. 딸기가 정말 달고 맛있어요.
