A pair of trousers
Once a young man went to town and bought a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were too long.
He went downstairs, where his mother and two sisters were washing up the tea‐things in the kitchen. “These new trousers need shortening by two inches,” he said. “Will one of you do this for me, please?” They were busy and nobody of them said anything.
When his mother finished washing up, she made the trousers shorter by two inches and didn’t say anything to her daughters.
After supper the elder sister remembered her brother’s request. She shortened the trousers by two inches and said nothing to anybody.
The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came back, remembered her brother’s words. So she went upstairs with her needle, scissors and thread and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers.
You can imagine the boy’s face when he put the trousers on the next morning.
