Tom lived a long way from the city. One day he went to the city to buy something in the shop, and after he bought them, he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When he looked round, he saw some old people put eye glasses on before reading their books, so after lunch he went to a shop to buy some glasses, too. He walked along the road, and soon found a shop. The man in the shop made him try on(ÊÔ´÷) a lot of glasses, but Tom always said, ¡°No, I can¡¯t read with these.¡±
The man became more and more puzzled(À§»ó). At last he said, ¡°Excuse me, but can you read at all?¡±
¡°No, I can¡¯t,¡± Tom said, ¡°If I can read, do you think I come here to buy glasses?¡±
