How to be grateful for a small start…

“Teacher, I need money.”

“Oh? Why do you need money?”

“I want to buy clothes.”

“Hmm. (Curious) How much do you need?”

“이만 팔천 원! (28000 won)”

“Hmmmm?”

“Uuuuhm.”

“Twenty eight thousand won?”

“Uuuuhm. Ten (makes an X in the air) two, (shows eight fingers) zero, zero, zero.”

“Yes. 2, 8, 0, 0, 0. 28000 won.”

“OK. Yes.”

“Let me see…here is 50 won.”

“Really?! Thank you teacher!”
