DAILY BREAD

Miss Martha was 40 years old but she was not married. She had her own shop, where she sold bread, both fresh and stale which was cheaper.

There was a customer who called at her shop two or three times a week. The man was not young but very attractive. He wore cheap clothes but they looked nice on him. He always bought only stale bread and Miss Martha decided that he was very poor. She always thought of him and was sorry that she could not invite him to have dinner with her. She wanted to talk to him, to know more about him. She wanted to help the poor man but didn’t know how. She liked him and began wearing her best dress.

Once when her customer called on her to buy stale bread, Miss Martha had an idea and a good one, as she thought, to help him. She put some butter in the stale bread.

The next day two men came into the shop. One of them was her cus­ tomer and the other — a young man. rrhe customer was very angry and couldn’t speak. So the young man spoke to Miss Martha: “We work to­ gether in the same office. We use stale bread to take away pencil lines from our plans. We have worked at a plan of a new district for six months. We finished it in the morning and began taking away pencil lines with your bread. You see, as there was butter in the bread the plan is good for nothing and we can’t show it to anybody now.”

When the men left Miss Martha went upstairs, took off her best dress and put on her old brown one.

Если вам нужно сделать покупки, идите на Новый Арбат. Это одна из самых больших и известных торговых улиц Москвы. Она привлекает покупателей со всей страны, а также зарубежных гостей. Там вы можете купить все: продукты, книги, мужскую и женскую одежду, обувь, электротовары.

На Новом Арбате находятся большие современные магазины и универмаги и почти все они — магазины самообслуживания. В су­ пермаркете всегда много покупателей, так как многие предпочи­ тают покупать все продукты в одном магазине.
