El mercado de los sábados

Ana is a cook. She lives in a small village and works in a café on the square. Today is Saturday and there is a market.

The market is in front of the café. Ana arrives early because she needs fruit. First she has a coffee with her friend Marta. Marta has a flower stall at the market.

“How are you?”, asks Marta. “I’m very well”, says Ana. “It’s sunny and this afternoon I’m not working.”

Ana looks at the strawberries. They are red and today they are very cheap. She buys two kilos. This afternoon she is going to cook a strawberry tart for the café.

On the square, a musician is playing the guitar and two children are singing. Ana listens to the music and rests for a moment.

At two o’clock, the market closes. Ana goes to the café and starts cooking. Marta is going to come at five; she wants to see her friend. Ana is tired, but it is a good day. And the tart is going to be delicious.
