my usual shopping round
 we go shopping every day. the other day my mother took
 me on a usual shopping round. we went to the grocer's and
 greengrocer's as we had run out of sugar and onions.
 at the greengrocer's there was a long queue. but we had
 nothing to do but stand in the queue if we wanted to get to
 the counter and have some onions. the shop-girl weighed us
 half a kilo of onions, we thanked her and went out. then we
 made our way to the grocer's where we bought a kilo of sugar
 and some sausage. we were about to go home as my mother
 suddenly remembered we had hardly any bread in the house.
 we dropped in at the baker's and bought a loaf of brown
 bread, some rolls and buns. on our way home the mother
 decided to call at a commercial shop. she was looking for a
 present to my father — as it was his birthday soon.
 as soon as we entered
 the shop, we found ourselves in a
 fantastic motley city of silk skirts and shirts, woolen pullovers,
 frocks and leather boots and shoes. the smiling girl
 met us at the counter. my mother said she wanted to buy a
 size 50 shirt of a dark-blue colour. the girl suggested looking
 at a dark-blue cotton shirt with short sleeves. the shirt was
 the latest fashion and we were sure the father would like it.
 we paid the money at the cash-desk. the cashier gave
 us a
 receipt and with it we came up to the shop-assistant. she
 passed us a wrapped parcel with the shirt, thanked us and
 added they were always glad to see us at their shop and we
 happy and a bit excited went out of the shop.
