    About this ebook

    Lee and Pat had another very busy week. They did a lot of shopping and went to lots of shops.

    On Monday, they went shopping for food. They bought enough food for the week. Then, on Tuesday, they went to a pet shop with Daddy. Daddy bought a pet parrot for Pat, and some fish for Lee. Lee wanted to get a pet rat too, but that shop didn't have any.  On Wednesday, they went to a bookshop with their teacher. In the bookshop, Pat saw a beautiful book all about parrots, and Lee looked for a book about rats and snakes. Lee really likes rats and snakes!

      **********

      Lee and Pat are sitting in their classroom.  The teacher is speaking to the children, but Lee and Pat are not listening.  They are both looking out of the window.  They are looking out of the window because they are waiting for Mommy.

      ––––––––

      Today, Mommy is coming to the children’s school in her car.  She is going to take Lee and Pat to the shops.  Lee and Pat like to go to shops.  That is why they are looking out of the window.  They want Mommy to come soon.  They want her to come soon so they can go shopping with her.

      The teacher can see that Lee and Pat are looking out of the window.  She can see that they are not listening to her.  Lee! Pat! says the teacher.  Stop looking out of the window!  You are in school now.  When you are in school, you should listen to the teacher.  Listen to me.  I want to tell you what you have to do for tomorrow’s class.

      ––––––––

      Lee and Pat stop looking out of the window.  They look at the teacher, but they are not really listening to her.  They are thinking about the shops.  Pat knows Mommy wants to go to the shops because they only have a little food at home now.

      Mommy wants to go to the shops and get enough food for the week.  She will take the children to a shop that sells fruit, a shop that sells meat, and a shop that sells fish.  Then, they will go to a shop that sells drinks like milk and orange-juice.  After that, they will go to a lot of other shops too. It is the other shops that Lee really wants to go to.

      ––––––––

      Now, Lee is looking out of the window again.  He can see Mommy’s car coming down the road.  Now, Mommy’s car is stopping.  It is stopping outside the school.  Mommy is getting out of the car and coming into the school.  She is coming to take the children shopping.

      The teacher is speaking to Lee

      Teacher

      Lee!  Are you listening to me?

      ––––––––

      Lee

      Pardon?

      ––––––––

      Teacher

      Are you listening to me, or are you only looking out of the window and thinking about going home?

      ––––––––

      Lee

      I’m sorry teacher, but I’m not thinking about going home.  I’m thinking about going shopping.

      ––––––––

      Teacher

      I see.  Well, you will have to wait for the class to finish first.  You can’t go shopping yet, can you?  You can go shopping when we finish the class.  You can go shopping at four o’clock.

      ––––––––

      Lee

      Yes, teacher.  I know.  I’m sorry.

      ––––––––

      Teacher

      Now, children.  Stop what you are doing.  Put down your pencils and listen to me. 

      ––––––––

      Lee

      Excuse me, teacher.

      ––––––––

      Teacher

      Yes, Lee.  What is it?

      ––––––––

      Lee

      Can I go to the bathroom, please?

      ––––––––

      Teacher

      Oh, Lee!  Can’t you wait?  Do you have to go now?

      ––––––––

      Lee

      Yes.  I’m sorry, teacher.  I really have to go now.

      ––––––––

      Teacher

      Oh, all right Lee.  You can go to the bathroom but don’t take a long time.  There are a lot of things I want to tell the class before everybody can go home.

      ––––––––

      Lee

      Yes, teacher.  Thank you.  I won’t be long.

      Lee and Pat are looking out of the car window.  They are looking down the road.  This road has a lot of shops on it.  There are shops that sell books, shops that sell fruit, shops that sell meat, and shops that sell fish. There are so many shops that Lee and Pat cannot count them all.  Mommy thinks she can get all the things she needs from the shops on this road.

      ––––––––

      Mommy wants to buy some fish, so they will go to the shop that sells fish.  She needs to buy some rice too, so they will go to a shop that sells rice.  She needs some fruit, so they will go to a shop that sells fruit.  Mommy wants to get a lot of fruit because she thinks children should eat a lot fruit.  She needs to get some potatoes and tomatoes, too.

      ––––––––

      Now, Mommy is looking out of the car window.  She is looking out of the window in front of her.  She is looking in all the shop windows because first she wants to buy some potatoes and tomatoes.  When Mommy sees a shop that sells potatoes and tomatoes, she will stop the car. 

      ––––––––

      After Mommy stops the car, Pat will get out and go into the shop.  Pat will buy potatoes and tomatoes.  She will buy all the potatoes and tomatoes the family needs for the week.

      **********

      Pat is asking Mommy about the shops

      Pat

      What are we going to buy first, Mommy?

      ––––––––

      Mommy

      Well, I’m looking in the shop windows.  I’m looking for a shop that sells potatoes and tomatoes.

      ––––––––

      Pat

      Oh, look at that shop window over there!  That shop has tomatoes!

      ––––––––

      Mommy

      All right.  I’ll stop the car here.  You get out, go into the shop and ask if their tomatoes are new.  I don’t want any old tomatoes.
