A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers.When he got home,he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on.He found that they were about two inches too long.
He went downstairs to the kitchen.His mother and two sisters were washing up the tea-things there.“The new trousers are too long,” he said.“They need shortening by about two inches.Could one of you do it for me,please?” His mother and sister were busy and none of them said anything.
But as soon as his mother had finished washing up,she went quietly upstairs to her son’s bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches.She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.
Later on,after supper,the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers.She was a kind-hearted girl,so she went quietly upstairs without saying anything to anyone,and shortened the trousers by two inches.
