Moment grandma saw N2k pear in UK

The grandma picked up a pear and asked the lady what kind of pear it was and how much it cost in the UK open market.
The lady told her it was a foreign pear and may cost about N2,000 in Nigerian currency. When she heard the price, the grandma quickly dropped the pear and refused to buy it despite the lady’s persuasion.
