An old man
Tom was very old, and he lived by himself a long way from town. So he knew less about the world. One day he went into town to buy something in some shops. Then he went into a resaurant and sat down at a table. When he looked around, he saw many old people put eyeglasses on before reading their newspaper, so after lunch he walked to a shop to buy some glasses.
The man in the shop made him try on a lot of glasses, but Tom always said, “ No, I can’t read with these.”
The man became more and more surprised. He said, “ Excuse me, but can you read?”
“ No, of course I can’t!” Tom said. “ I think the good glasses can help me.”
