Shopping for Clothes By Ken Method

　　Betty needed some new clothes. Mrs. Jones took her to the department store. 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.

　　Betty tried on several blouses. She didn't like any of them. Some were too big. Some were too small. Then she tried on one that was the right size.

　　“That one looks right,” her mother said.

　　“No, Mom,” Betty said. “It's too heavy. I'll be hot.”

　　At last Betty found one she liked. “This is just right,” she said. “It's not too heavy. It's not too thin. I like the color.”

　　“Good,” her mother said. She turned to the saleswoman. “How much is this blouse?” she asked.

　　“One hundred dollars,” the saleswoman said.

　　“That's much too expensive!” Mrs. Jones said.

　　Poor Betty. She didn't get a new blouse that day.
