Tom lived by himself a long way from town. He hardly went to town, but one day he went into town to buy a few things. After he bought them, he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When he looked around, he saw some old people put glasses on before reading their newspapers. So
after lunch he decided to go to a shop to buy himself one pair, too. He walked along the road, and soon found a shop.
