   Not necessarily.  It might be stated a little better as, "one 5 thousand   
   rouble banknote".  Which is a slight mincing-around of your original   
   storyline,  8-)

   Probably slow, indeed.  :)  The new readers are the 'swipe & go' variety, for   
   less than AUD$100, so it's pretty slick shopping.

   Oh yeah.  Sure.  More likely he tired the bear to death with all the dancing.    
   (BTW, there's only one bear so your apostrophe is in the wrong place.)  Is   
   there more to the story?  Or, is that a traditional tale?   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
