Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal(偷) the bell on his neighbour’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of(抓住) the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.

The bell rang loudly, but the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbour came running out. “Steal my bell? I’ll teach you a lesson(教训),” the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.

Do you like to shop on the Internet? I like to buy books online. The price is usually lower. When I want to know something about a book, I write an e-mail to the online shop for an answer. I am shy. It is difficult for me to talk to the shopkeeper in real shops.

Sometimes online shops have pictures of the book. They can show you some pages of the book, too. I think this is very helpful. I don’t like to read books in shops because the shopkeeper may come and talk to me. I don’t know what to say to them.

I can shop at midnight if I want to. Real shops close at nine o’clock in the evening. Some people worry about the postman may lose or damage(损坏) the things they buy from online shops. But I don’t worry about that. I think it is hard to damage a book and my postman is very careful.

Some people say that shopping in real shops is good because you can go with your friends and look at many different things. They call this window-shopping. I don’t have any friends and I don’t like to talk too much-it makes me tired.

I am teaching my grandmother how to shop online. She can not walk very far so it will make shopping easy for her if she shops online. My brother wants to learn how to do it, too. He is very busy most of the time. When he has a little free time, he can shop online. What do you think of online shopping?
