Jim and Nami like manzai. They sometimes watch it on TV.
One day after school in October, they asked Kumiko about manzai.
Jim : Kumiko, manzai is popular in Osaka, isn’t it?
Kumiko : Yes，that’s right. Manzai is famous and has a long history. Why do you ask?
Nami : Because Jim and I are going to do manzai in English at the school festival next month.
Kumiko : In English?
Nami : Yes.
Kumiko : Oh, I think it will be a little difficult for some students to understand a manzai story in English. Please use easy English. But I like your idea.

Jim : Yes, let’s do it together.
They did manzai at the school festival the next month.
Nami: Hi, everyone. We hope you’ll enjoy our manzai.
Jim: Nami and Kumiko, I went to a farm with my friends yesterday. There were many kinds of apples on the trees.
Kumiko: Really?
Jim: Yes，and we met a man working there.
Nami: Oh，did you?
Jim: Well, I wanted an apple. So, I asked the man, “How much is that big red apple on the tree?” He answered，”It’s 100 yen.” But l had only 50 yen.
Kumiko: Oh，so you couldn’t buy it.
Jim: That’s right. I said to him, “I have only 50 yen.” He smiled and said, “How about that one? It’s 50 yen.” But it was small and still green.
Nami: Oh，that’s too bad.
Jim: I know， but I gave him 50 yen and said， “I’ll take it， but please don’t cut it from the tree. I’ll come back and get it in a few weeks.”
Kumiko: What? Did you write your name on it?
