Jennie pov.......

Jen:Uncle, can I get 'Pride & Prejudice' first edition...

Shopkeeper :'Pride & Prejudice'!!! Ok.... Wait me here, I'll go get it...

           I'm currently standing at the counter of an old bookstore... Tomorrow is Mr. Kim's birthday so I thought of buying something he really love.. He is interested in reading and he really like 'Pride & Prejudice', he watched the film for more than 10 times, I can quarantee  you......

         After a few minutes the shopkeeper came back with a little old book that is still look very good though..

Jen:Uncle, how much is it?

Jen:Uncle, how much is it?

Shopkeeper :As this is the first edition, I can't discount you and it's price is pretty high... it's 4700 won...

Jen:4700!!!! But uncle.... I only brought 4000 won with me and all my credit card and phone were in my boss house... Can you please discount a little????

Shopkeeper :I'm sorry young lady.. I really want to give it to you at low price but I can't do it or I'll have no profit at all...

Jen:B-But......

          What will I do now???? I really need this....... I look around his store nervously trying to figure out some solution...  If i don't get this now, someone can took it before me and I don't want that to happen.....

        Suddenly a thought hit me and I smile slightly looking around his store for one last time and turn around facing the old man...

Jen:Uncle.... for the remaining 700....let me clean your store... you see.... I'll clean all the shelf and put tje books accordingly... so can you please give me the book....

Shopkeeper :You really want it bad!!! Ok... lets do it...

Jen:Really!!!! Thank you so much... I'll start now then....

        I smile widely, taking the cloth hanging and marching towards the first book shelf... taking down all of them and clean the shelf then put them accordingly on the shelf again...

            After cleaning all the store, i pat my clothes and hands and went to the counter again... I smile widely putting the cloth on the side of the table...

Jen:Uncle, I finish.... how's it?? Are you satisfied??

Shopkeeper :Yes... Thank you very much... I hope whoever you give this.... that person must be worth of your hardwork..

Jen:Y-Yeah.... he's worth it...

Shopkeeper :This is only the symbol, your real gift is the amount of strength you put to get this....

Jen:Thank you.. I'll get going now....

Shopkeeper :My pleasure...

         I took the book and bid my goodbye to the shopkeeper and quickly head out of the store.... When i reach his house, i only saw Mr. Bong on the driveway... I went inside his house with the spare key he gave me and  took my belongings and head out again...
