The parent checks it and sees it is of a great quality, it has an attractive design and a fair price. He decides to buy it since it adapts to his expectations and he wants to make his son happy. Before paying, the sales employee informs him that the school bag can be purchased as an optional pack along with a Spiderman hat and Spiderman sneakers, everything for just a couple of extra Euros.
