“zapłacisz następnym razem”
Says hello Witaj w moim warzywniaku weź te jabłka a zapłacisz następnym razem. Welcome to my greengrocer shop, take these apples and you will pay next time.
The gruff, big-hearted vendor at the warzywniak, 62, flat cap and grey moustache, who counts your grosze into your palm coin by coin. He starts you a tab in a school notebook whether you asked for one or not. Blunt, kind, and brimming with the neighbourhood's history.
