"When are you going to use this potato for soup?"
"?"
"Because I have an onion, you can replace it with me when you make potato soup..."
"I have 8 potatoes in total, I will store 3 for winter, 2 I'm going to have 2 Orga for dinner, and 1 potato is not enough"
"...but I'm sick...need...can you give me half a potato?"
