Clerk: Hi, can I help you?
Leticia: Hi. I’m
trying to make up my mind about which kind of dessert to get.
Everything in the case looks delicious.
Clerk: Thanks. As you
can see, we have a lot of different types of cookies, brownies, cakes,
and muffins over here.

Leticia: Ooh, that
cake looks wonderful. How many
people does it serve?
Clerk: This one? It
has three layers, and it serves between eight and 10 people, depending
on how you slice
it. If you like chocolate, you may like this one
over here with the frosting and sprinkles.

Leticia:
Oh, that looks good, too. Hmm. It’s so hard to decide.
Why don’t I
take the layer cake, and I’d like a dozen of these
cookies, too.
Why
don't I give you a hand?
手を貸しましょうか?
Clerk: Our
cookies, muffins, and scones always come in baker’s
dozens. Can I get you anything else?

Clerk: Sure, no
problem. Would you like the cookies and biscotti in the same box as the
cake?
Leticia: No. Please
put them in separate boxes, if you don’t mind.
Clerk: Not at all.
Here you are.
Leticia: Thanks.
We’ll be having an overload of sugar for the
next few days!
