‘Hi Frahād,what are you doing?’
‘I'm thinking about buying a gas station, since I’ve intention to buy one on the highway soon.’
‘Really? I think it’s way better if you now buy a house.’
‘I don’t have enough money to buy a big house now, but if I buy a gas station and work hard on it, I can maybe buy a big enough house for my children and wife later.’
‘Is it more expensive for you to buy a house or a gas station?’
‘It’s more expensive for me to buy a gas station now, but I can buy a big enough house with the money of the gas station.’
‘How far is your gas station from my house in Neyshabur?’
‘It’s a bit far from your house over there, maybe 30 or 40 miles.’
‘How many miles is it from here?’
‘it’s only 5 miles from here.’
‘Do you want to build a car wash with it too? Today gas stations are most often accompanied by a car wash and a little restaurant or a store.’
‘You're right and I agree. a car wash and a takeaway (restaurant) make this business much worthier and more profitable.’
‘OK, I have to go now because my wife is waiting for me at the mall. She wants to buy a dress.’
‘That mall is often more expensive than the store.’
‘Really? I don’t think so. why do you say that?’
‘My son says so. He himself works at that mall and knows that place well.’
‘We are in a hurry now and for the next day party my wife needs a new dress, but I don’t think she is going to buy things from the stores right now, since she doesn’t know them.’
‘OK. Do whatever seems better to you.’
‘So, see you later, bye!’
‘Goodbye, give my regards to your wife!’
‘Sure, I’ll do so!’
