Every Saturday there is a flea market on our square.
People sell old books, lamps and pictures.
Last week I saw a small brown table.
The seller wanted thirty euros.
I said that ten was enough, and he laughed.
In the end I paid fifteen.
At home I found an old letter in the drawer.
It was a love letter from 1952, and I still keep it.
