Mrs. Smith often felt lonely when her husband went to work. The room was small and she always spent only half an hour tidying it. She couldn’t get up early in the morning, so Mr. Smith had to cook breakfast himself. She usually had some bread and milk for lunch and only cooked supper for herself and her husband. They had no TV. Mr. Smith always went to bed at nine.

It was a winter morning. The sun was shining and it was warmer outside than it was in the room. The woman sat on the step of a shop, looking at the busy traffic. At that moment, a man with a map in his hand was coming towards her.

“Excuse me, madam.” said the man.”Could you tell me how to get to the nearest hospital, please?”

Mrs. Smith looked at him up and down. “He seems a farmer.” the woman said to herself. “Let me laugh at him.”

Then she turned to him and said, “Lie down in the middle of the street, and you’ll soon be sent to a hospital.”

“Please set an example to me, then.” said the man.

She had to tell him the way and then she said, “I think you must be in a city for the first time. It’s much more beautiful than the field. Is that right?”

“Yes, madam,” said the farmer with a smile. “But I think it is built on the field!”
