[ Annie nods, already looking for another employee to ask about the hosing. Which directs them down to another aisle, near gardening. There's no brilliant array of colours here, just opaque tubing in various sizes, one that matches better to the pre-established hole in the lid for the bucket. ]
Does this look like the one that fits with that lid?
[ She pulls up the end of one spool of tubing, using her thumb to measure out the diameter. ]
[ Come Annie's conclusion, accepting the bucket and looking at the twist-on, twist-off cap on the top. She twists it open, using her thumb to measure the distance across, then brings it to the large spools lined up on the shelves at about waist level. The first one she tries is too small, but the second fits right, about one inch in diameter. ]
This will do. About two metres worth and we're good.
[ She hands Thida back the bucket, looking for how they're expected to cut the tubing lengths off. She spies an odd contraption at the end of the spools, like a stationary cutting device, mildly amused that of all places she finds something sharp, it's here at a store, and on staryutube. ]
Looks like we're supposed to use this to cut a length off the rest.
[So then they'll have to eyeball the length, right? Annie said about two meters...Thida puts the bucket down by her feet and starts to carefully unspool some hosing, judging it by sight with each unwrapped length. She can do this!]

[ She gestures to the line of buckets. ]
Pick any of them you like.

[She's going to come back at another time to definitely buy a bucket in every color and make a makeshift drum set, but that's later.]

Maybe it's okay to test.
[Though if a hose gets stuck in the bucket, then they're going to have to buy that one specifically...]

Let me know when you think we have enough.
