Birger and Isaac were roaming around the market, it was late evening, and they were eyeing stores to use their new bill on.
"Hey, Isaac! Should we use our bill on that vegetable store there?" Asked Birger.
"...Nah. It'd be too easy, if we have to make sure this is a good note...we'll need to try some place where they take their notes seriously." Said Isaac.
"Oh...okay..." said Birger a little dejected.
"Hmmm...how about there?" Isaac pointed towards a shop in the corner, where a bunch of men where crowded.
"What's that...wait a sec..." Birger began to read the name of the shop on the board on top..."Grass...Weed Liq...uor...Sto...re...Liquor Store?" Asked Birger, giving Isaac a very skeptical look.
"What? These Liquor store people are very keen on their earnings, and they thoroughly check every note they get." Said Isaac.
"Uh...huh." exclaimed Birger.
"Hey...why don't you go check it, I'll stay right behind...uh..,go and ask for a Citrus Beer Bottle okay?" Said Isaac.
"Okay!" Birger accepted and pushed his way into the front of the crowd towards the counter, holding his hand forward with the fake note in his hand. "One Citrus! One Citrus!" Yelled Birger towards the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper grabbed the 500 Finn Note, as he took it in his hand, and felt it...scrunched it...and pulled it. It was fake.
He immediately grabbed Birger's hand, "Who the hell are you?" Yelled the Shopkeeper.
"I didn't do anything! Please!" Pleaded Birger.
"Shut up! You gave me a fake!" Yelled the shopkeeper, as Isaac immediately ran in and grabbed Birger from behind, "Leave him now!" He yelled back at the shopkeeper.
This brief tug of war was won by Isaac, as he and Birger fell back into the small crowd of men.
"Aw, fuck!" Said Birger, as Isaac got him up, "don't think! We need to scram! Run!" Said Isaac as he and Birger made a run for it.
"Hey! That asshole gave me a fake note! Get him!" Yelled the Shopkeeper, as the other drunkards around the shop ran after them.
Isaac and Birger had to weave and sprint awkwardly as they passed carriages and people, before two drunkards caught up with Birger.
"Hey don't mess with me, I'm a warrior of the forest!" Said Birger squaring up for a fight.
Isaac pushed one of the drunkards from behind and which pushed him onto the other drunkard! "Fuck off!" As he and Birger ran as fast as they could back to their home.

Birger was sitting on a chair, breathing heavily, while Isaac was examining his own note.
"God, that was close... do people have nothing to do these days? I don't think they even knew who they were chasing..." said Birger.
Isaac just stayed silent, still looking at the note.
"Guess...our little note thing didn't work out huh?" Asked Birger.
There was a moment of silence, until Isaac responded "I'll make a better note."
"What?" Asked Birger in a bewildered tone.
"I said i'll make a better note." Said Isaac, as he tore the note in his hands.
