One day Mrs Jones went shoppingOne 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?'
'Fifteen pounds.'
'Fifteen 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 about the dress, and at last, after a week, he said, 'Oh, buy the dress! Here is the money!' She was very happy.
