Dialogue: A conversation between Kamali and Rufaranga

In this dialogue, we have Kamali in Rufaranga's store where he is buying groceries which are needed at home. In the negotiation process, Kamali is trying to convince Rufaranga to reduce the price of the items he wants to buy. The bargaining went so well that he bought the items at a discount.
