Buying a Pastry

Tuesday afternoon I went with William and Whitney to try and buy a pastry. The cashier lady didn't speak English. Finally we decided on some beautiful jelly-cream filled powdered-sugar topped pastry. Whitney pointed at the window to say we wanted 2. The cashier lady said something really fast in German (that of course we didn't understand) and we just smiled and said '...uh, yeah.' She wrapped up a bag with 5 powder pastries and when we looked at her, she said something else in German (probably the same thing) and then pointed to a sign in the case. '5 for 3 pounds.' oops. Should've been more specific in our pointing. Oh well, it was a good deal and we finished them off just as fast (William: 2, Whitney: 5).
