Macy's is a large department store in New York that sells everything fromclothes to personal computers and televisions. The men's clothes are on thesecond floor, so Mark went right up to that floor as soon as he got to thestore. He told the sales clerk he was looking for a good buy on a wool sports

jacket. The sales clerk showed him the jackets that were on sale. Some of them were very nice; a few were imported from Italy, but Mark couldn't finda nice one in his size. The ones that fit him weren't very well-made andweren't made of 100% wool.

The sales clerk said they had a lot of other wool jackets there were selling atthe regular price. Well, it was either that or go to another store.

Barbara: I'm calling about the apartment you have for rent. I just saw your ad in thenewspaper.

Landlady: Are you calling about the one-bedroom or the two-bedroom?Barbara: The two-bedroom. Is it still available?Landlady: Yes, but I've already gotten a lot of calls about it.Barbara: Well, I'm interested in finding out a little more about it. What floor is it on?Landlady: The second floor. It's in a two-story building right on Main Street, across from the

coffee shop.Barbara: Oh, great! That's right near my office. The ad said the rent is $850 a month. Does

that include utilities?Landlady: It includes heat, electricity and water -but not telephone, of course.Barbara: That would be all right, I guess, but I really can't afford to pay more than about

$900 a month, including telephone. How much is a one-bedroom apartment?Landlady: The one-bedrooms are $675, and I only have one left. It's a ground floor

apartment. Maybe you should think about renting that one instead of the two-bedroom.

Barbara: No. I’m moving out of a one-bedroom because it's too small. I need a bigger place.I think I'd like to look at the two-bedroom.

Landlady: Well, I have some other people who are interested in it, so if you want to see it,you'd better come this afternoon.

Barbara: I have one more question ...Are pets allowed?

Landlady: Sometimes. What kind of pet do you have?Barbara: Well, that's why I need a larger place. I have three cats and a dog!Landlady: Wait a minute! I'm going to have to think about this! Three cats and a dog! We
