There are so many beautiful shoes, and the old woman tries on (试穿) some shoes happily. But she doesn’t like any of them when she knows the prices.

Seeing this, Mr. White speaks to the shopkeeper quietly (轻轻地), “Next time (对……感兴趣) some pairs, just tell her the price is only 15 dollars.”

“But that’s not the real price!” the shopkeeper says.

“Don’t worry! I will pay (付钱) for the shoes at the real price.”
