THE STORY

It's ten o'clock the same Thursday. Max needs water, cash and a German phone number, and Herr Demir's shop on the corner has been open since seven. He comes out with a SIM card, a bottle of water that isn't what he meant to ask for, and a lesson about bottles he won't forget. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
