It was Sunday morning. A butcher(屠夫) heard the doorbell(门铃) and thought it must be a customer. But he was surprised to see that a dog was coming into his shop. The dog had $10 and a note in its mouth. The butcher took the note and read it. It said,“10 pork chops(排骨), please. ”So the butcher took the money and put a bag of chops in the dog’s mouth.

Then he quickly closed the shop because he decided to follow the dog. He found the dog on the street. The dog was waiting for a green light. Then the dog walked across the road. The dog went to a bus stop. When a bus arrived, the dog checked the number and then got on the bus.

Perhaps the most famous clothing brand name(服装品牌名称)in the world is Levi’s．Levi Strauss & Co．is the producer of blue denim jeans．Here’s how it happened．

In the mid 1800s many people went to California to look for gold．A young German named Levi Strauss traveled to San Francisco to help his brother on business．He sold canvas(帆布)to the workers for tents．But the workers said they needed pants more，because their pants were easy to wear out．Instead of selling his canvas for tent-making，he turned it into pants．These kinds of pants were very popular with workers．He was very happy and named the kind of pants“denims”．And in 1853 he founded Levi Strauss ＆ Co．

Twenty years later the company began using a design with pockets．During the working，Strauss developed the process for putting metal rivets(铆钉)in the eans for strength．

On May 20，1873，they received the U．S．Patent No.139，121 for the process and that date is now considered the official birthday of“blue jeans”．

Today the company still has its factories in San Francisco，California．Over 11，000 people work in them and bring in over $4 billion a year．
