Mr. White has a small shop in the middle of our town, and he sells pictures in it. They are not expensive ones, but some of them are very beautiful.
Last Saturday, a woman came1 into the shop and saw2 a lot of pictures. Then she pointed3 to one of them and asked, “How much is the picture with horses in a field4?”
“Twenty pounds5, Madam.” Mr. White answered. The woman closed6 her eyes for a few seconds and said7, “I can only give you two pounds for it.”
“Two pounds?” Mr. White said angrily. “I spent more than two pounds in buying canvas8.”
“Oh, but they were clean, then.” said the woman.
