ثَلَاثَةُ أَرْغِفَةٍ مِنَ الْمَخْبَزِ
الْخَبَّازُ: صَبَاحُ الْخَيْرِ! تَفَضَّلْ.
عُمَرُ: صَبَاحُ النُّورِ. أُرِيدُ خُبْزًا، مِنْ فَضْلِكَ.
الْخَبَّازُ: كَمْ رَغِيفًا تُرِيدُ؟
عُمَرُ: أُرِيدُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَرْغِفَةٍ.
الْخَبَّازُ: أَتُرِيدُ الْخُبْزَ الصَّغِيرَ أَمِ الْكَبِيرَ؟
عُمَرُ: أُرِيدُ الْكَبِيرَ. هَلْ هُوَ طَازَجٌ؟
الْخَبَّازُ: نَعَمْ، هٰذَا خُبْزٌ طَازَجٌ مِنَ الْفُرْنِ.
عُمَرُ: جَيِّدٌ. أُرِيدُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَرْغِفَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ.
الْخَبَّازُ: ثَلَاثَةُ أَرْغِفَةٍ كَبِيرَةٍ، صَحِيحٌ؟
عُمَرُ: نَعَمْ. ضَعْهَا فِي كِيسٍ، مِنْ فَضْلِكَ.
الْخَبَّازُ: حَاضِرٌ. هٰذَا كِيسُكَ.
عُمَرُ: شُكْرًا. الْخُبْزُ دَافِئٌ.
الْخَبَّازُ: نَعَمْ، تَفَضَّلْ.
عُمَرُ: شُكْرًا. إِلَى اللِّقَاءِ.
