The rhythmic click of her stilettos made people look up as the lady in white entered the supermarket.
Weekends are not good times for shopping in the fruits and vegetable section. There were harried housewives with babies, matronly mothers of large families, single men and women, all choosing the choicest and the freshest produce.
Abandoned trolleys laden with groceries lay here and there while their owners rushed around to gather more goodies.
There was a long queue at the weighing counter.
The lady in white had only five items on her beautifully hand-written alphabetical list - bananas, beans, cucumbers, oranges, and watermelon.
She quickly looked around and spotted these items in the abandoned trolleys near her. Picking up the things that she wanted from these trolleys, she checked them for weight and price stickers, and with a click of her stilettos, marched up to the billing counter near the exit.
(This is another one of Anna's comical stories. This lady in white is also featured in http://freshmintandlemon.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-piece-of-cake.html )
