A soap and a banana

The guy extended a ten rupee note and asked for a Hamam soap.  The shop keeper took the money and asked "One Hamam is it?".  The guy responded with "Yes and give me a banana for the remaining amount."  The shopkeeper retorted in a annoyed tone "for ten rupees?".  "Yes" said the buyer.  "The soap cost seven rupees.  There is no banana here for three rupees" said the shopkeeper.  The guy did not understand and ended up reiterating "Give me a banana for the remaining money".  Now, the shop keeper was clearly upset. "You cannot buy a banana here with three rupees.  There are no bananas that cost less five rupees".  The guy seemed zapped and only managed to say "five rupees!".  "Yes" said shop keeper and slammed the soap and remaining money in front of him.
