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.
