After eating in a restaurant we asked for the bill.

If we don´t have cash we use a credit or debit card.

If we get a discount we pay less than the average price.

When you pay, the shop assistant gives you a receipt.

The currency in Spain is the Euro.

I usually keep cards, coins and notes in my wallet.

A HAPPY STORY:

A man was walking in the park when he felt tired.

He was sitting on a bench when he found a wallet.

He didn´t know what to do.

He thought of looking for a contact while he was going home.

He saw a number while he was searching the wallet.

He phoned a relative and he came to pick the wallet.

The man and his son were waiting when the bell rang.

The owner was happy to recover it because he had had trouble...
