Mrs. Read lives in the countryside. She is very happy. Sometimes she is not happy. There aren't many things to buy in the countryside. She needs to go to the city.

    One day she goes to the city. First she buys some fruits and vegetables for herself and for her friend. Then she goes into a shop. She wants to buy a pair of glasses. She tries one pair, and then another, and another, but none of them seems to feel right.

    The shopkeeper is a nice man. After some time he says to Mrs. Read. "Don't worry, madam. Everything will be all right in the end. It isn't easy to find the right glasses."

    "No, it isn't." answers Mrs. Read. "And it is even more difficult when you are shopping for a friend."
