Tom was very old,and he lived by himself a long way from town.So he knew little about the world.One day he went into the town to buy something.He went into a hotel and sat down at a table.When he looked around,he saw many old people put eyeglasses on before reading their newspaper,so after lunch he went to a shop to buy some glasses.
The man in the shop made him try on a lot of glasses,but Tom always said,"No,I can't read with these."The man became more and more surprised.He said,"Excuse me,but can you read these words?"
"No,of course I can't!"Tom said."I think a pair of good glasses can help me read.
