The super hero and the banana man

My 1½ year old nephew, Ferdinand, loves bananas. Therefore, his dad (my younger brother) wanted to get at new supply. We'd gone to Margao, a sort of large town in Goa, and Ferdinand expressed his unsatisfaction would most likely easiest be paciified by a banana. So Niels Peter (my younger brother) went out to get bananas.

He wanted to buy for 50 rupees, for which you get about 20-30 little delicious Goa-bananas for. As Niels Peter didn't have many smaller notes, he gave the banana man a 500 rupees note and regretted straight away to have givven such a large note. The banana man started suggesting my brother to get more bananas and to move his stuff around, packing up, looking to the side etc. Finally, he gave Niels Peter the bananas but not the change, pointed somewhere and told the police were coming. And then he ran.

500 rupees made the bananas less of a deal. Luckily, my brother were fast as something very fast. He ran after the banana man, caught him, got his remaining 450 rupees and got everything back in to order...
