Selin is a new university student in İzmir. She comes from a small town. Now she lives alone in a flat. Today is Saturday. There is a big street near her home. Selin wants to buy fresh vegetables and fruit. But she is a little nervous. It is her first time alone at the market.

The market is very big and busy. There are many colorful stalls. There are red tomatoes, green peppers, oranges, and apples everywhere. The sellers are shouting. "Fresh tomatoes! Cheap apples!" The noise is loud. Selin does not know where to start.

Selin goes to a vegetable . An old man is the seller. "Hello, young lady! Welcome!" he says with a big smile. "What do you want today?" Selin looks at the tomatoes. "Um... how much are the tomatoes?" she asks shyly. "Twenty lira for one kilo," the man says.

Selin does not know if this is cheap or expensive. She is new to the city. "Okay," she says quietly. "One kilo, please." The old man looks at her kindly. "You are new here, yes?" he asks. Selin nods. "Yes, I am a student. This is my first time at the market."

The old man smiles. "Then let me help you," he says. "At the market, you can . You can ask for a better price. Watch me." He shows Selin the vegetables. "These tomatoes are very fresh. Touch them. Smell them. Always choose fresh ones."

Selin learns a lot. The old man teaches her how to choose good vegetables. "Look at the color," he says. "Smell the fruit. Do not buy soft or old ones." Then he teaches her how to bargain. "If you buy many things, you can ask, 'Can you make a better price?'"

Now Selin is braver. She buys tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and apples. "How many apples do you want?" the man asks. "One kilo, please," Selin says. Then she tries to bargain. "I buy many things. Can you make a better price?" The old man laughs happily. "Of course! You learn fast!"

The old man gives Selin a good price. He also puts some extra parsley in her bag. "This is a gift for you," he says. "Welcome to İzmir. Come again next week." Selin is very happy. Her bags are full of fresh, cheap food. And she has a new friend at the market.

Selin walks home with her heavy bags. She feels proud. This morning, she is nervous and shy. Now she knows how to shop at the market. She knows how to choose fresh food and how to bargain. It is a small thing, but it feels big to her.

Every Saturday, Selin goes to the same market. She always visits the old man's stall. They talk and laugh. He always gives her the best vegetables and a little gift. The market is not scary anymore. Now it is Selin's favorite place in the city.
