Every Saturday, Max goes to the grocery store. He has a shopping list with items of food and beverages that he will need to purchase. Once Max gets to the store, he spends thirty minutes shopping for the items on his list. In the fruit and vegetable section, he finds the apples, potatoes, eggplants and paprika. In aisle three he finds instant coffee, a bag of sugar, and a packet of biscuits. There are a few items on the list that Max cannot find, so he asks the store assistant for help.

Max: ‘Excuse me. Where can I find the milk?’
Store assistant: ‘Milk can be found in the refrigerator shelves.’
Max: ‘I also need help finding toothpaste.’
Store assistant: ‘Toiletries are in aisle ten.’
Max: ‘Thank you very much.’

Max finds every item on his shopping list. He goes to the cash register and pays for all of his items. He is very happy that his trip to the grocery store was a success.
