Chiromancy and the gypsy woman. Once a time, i was buying a cake for my mother in a store near to my house. I was asking to the saleswoman if she has chocolate cake and caramel flan when an old woman with a peculiar accent asked me if she could read my palm. I got a little nervous and i said to her - "no thank you madame". Then she insisted - is for free or perhabs you could invite me a coffee in a meanwhile and in exchange i read your palm. I responded to her - no thanks i'm not interested. She went away letting me with lots of doubts. I have always been curiosity for the chiromancy. Later i regreatted that i lost the opportunity to learn something new from the gypsy woman. It's interesting how the gypsy culture is releated to this subject.

The concept of "invitar a algo" we have in Spanish doesn't sound good to me in English. I would say buy.

Good job!

PS: If you ask me, I think you just saved yourself some coffee ;)
