Mr. and Mrs. Brown lived in a short and wet room last year. Now their daughter was born, the room was too narrow for them to live in. Last Friday, after the factory paid out wages（工资）, Mr. Brown had to borrow some money from his friends and bought an old house. It’s a little bigger and drier than the old one. But the walls were very dirty. Mrs. Brown told her husband to paint them.
It was Saturday. Mr. Brown didn’t go to work. He came in a paint shop and bought two cans（罐） of paint. It was made in(由┅生产) Japan. He looked at the directions(说明书) for a long time, but he couldn’t understand it at all. Before leaving the shop, he had to ask the shopkeeper, “Can I put this paint on myself, sir?”
It seemed the shopkeeper didn’t understand him. He looked at Mr. Brown up and down and then he said,” You’d better put it on the wall, sir. It would look better, I think.”
