Buy Glasses to Read
Tom had retired and lived by himself far away from town. He hardly ever left the village, but one day he
had to go into town to buy some things in the shops, and after he had bought them, he went into a restaurant and
sat down at a table by himself. When he looked around, he saw some old people put glasses on before reading
their newspapers, so after lunch he decided to go to a shop to buy himself a pair of glasses too. He walked along
the street, and soon found a shop.
The man in the store made him try on many glasses, but Tom always said, "No, I can't read with these."
The man became more and more puzzled, at last he said, "Excuse me, but can you read at all?"
"No, of course I can't!" Tom said angrily. "If I was already able to read, do you think I would have come
here to buy glasses?"
