A Beautiful Dress
One day Mrs Jones went shopping. When her husband came home in the evening
she began to tell him about a beautiful cotton dress. "I saw it in a shop this morning
she said
and..."
And you want to buy it
said her husband. "How much does it cost? "
Forty pounds.
Forty pounds for a cotton dress? That is too much!
But every evening
when Mr Jones came back from work
his wife continued to speak only abou't the dress
and at last
after a week
he said
Oh
buy the dress! Here is the money!
She was very happy.
But the next evening
when Mr Jones came home and asked
Have you got the famous dress?
she said
No.
Why not?
he said.
Well
it was still in the window of the shop after a week
so I thought
nobody else wants this dress
so I don't want it either.
