Shopping for clothes.

Sarah needed some new clothes. Mrs. Jones took her to a shopping center. They went to the children’s department. A saleswoman came up to them. ‘Can I help you?’ she asked. ‘Yes,’ Mrs. Jones said. ‘My daughter needs a new blouse.’ ‘What size is she?’ the saleswoman asked.  ‘She was a size six last year, but she’s bigger now.’ ‘We'll try a size seven,’ the saleswoman said. Sarah tried on several blouses. She didn’t like any of them. Some were too big. Some were too small. Then she tried on one blouse that was the right size. ‘That one looks right,’ her mother said. ‘No, Mum,’ Sarah said. ‘It’s too thick. I’ll be hot.’ At last Sarah liked one. ‘This is just right,’ she said. ‘It’s not too thick. It’s not too thin. I like the colour.’ ‘Good,’ her mother said. She turned to the saleswoman. ‘How much is this blouse?’ she asked. ‘Fifty pounds,’ the saleswoman said. ‘That’s much too expensive!’ Mrs. Jones said. Poor Sarah. She didn’t get a new blouse that day.
