A Special Purchase

There's a guy who sells large, colorful balls right outside of Yerushalayim. We pass him about half of the time we travel there, seeing him slung with about 20 balls, each nearly 2 feet in diameter. They look fun, but he's essentially standing at the exit of a highway. How can we stop?

Today, he was outside of Rami Levy. He had fewer than 10 balls, and I had to ask how much they were. He told me they were 25₪ apiece, and I thought about it. Where would we keep it? How much is 25₪? As I was thinking, he brought the price down to 20₪, at which point he had a sale. I'm still not sure where we'll keep it (the ball is covered with fuzzy cloth, so storing it outside may not be viable, though with the rainy season being over...), but for 20₪, I want to be able to say I bought something from the guy who stands at the entrance to Yerushalayim. And it really is a cool ball.
