"It will break?" She asked
"No madam, my guarantee." Said the cobbler.
"How much?"
"What you feel sir."
"No you tell."
"I can say twenty-five, but you give what you think is right."
"Okay take ten."
walking away, she said, "... should have given only five."
PS : My first attempt at Fiction 55 , inspired by Vinnie.
