The Last Apple

Tap a word to translate it and save it for practice.

Leo holds the last red apple beside an empty fruit box while a woman looks at the box in a small grocery shop.

Leo goes to the shop after work. He wants bread and an apple. There is one red apple in a box.

He takes the apple. A woman beside him looks at the empty box.

"Are there more apples?" she asks the shopkeeper.

"No, sorry. More apples come tomorrow."

Leo remembers the two oranges he has at home. "You can have this apple," he tells the woman.

"Thank you! My son wants an apple for his lunch."

Leo buys his bread and goes home. He makes some tea and eats an orange. Tomorrow, he can buy an apple.
