I wonder what my sister wants for her birthday. Can you tell me what girls like at 25? I ask the assistant if she prefers jewelry or perfume. She says scarves are popular.
I want to know how much a silk scarf costs. It’s 420,000₫ – within budget. The assistant wraps it up with ribbon and a card. I write “Happy Birthday!” Now it’s a perfect fit. It’s the thought that counts!
