One day Mrs. Jones went shopping alone. When her husband came home in the evening, she began to tell him about a beautiful cotton dress.“I saw it in a shop this morning,”she said, “and…”“And you want to buy it,”said her husband.“How much does it cost？”“Fifteen pounds.”And every evening, when Jones came back from work, his wife went on speaking only about the dress; and at last, after a week, he said, Oh, buy the dress! Here’s the money!”She was very happy. But the next evening, when Mr. Jones came home and asked,“Have you got the famous dress？”She said,“No.”“Why not？”he said.“Well, it was still in the window of the shop after a week.
