Joe Biggs was a butcher. His shop was in a village in the beautiful south of England, and he
31 in it for many years while his father was there. Then when his father reached the age of 65, he stopped working in the shop, and Joe was alone in it, so he had to work
32 .
Joe worked five and a half days a week. His shop
33 at one o’clock on Thursday, and it was closed the whole of Sunday. Saturdays were the
34 days.
Most of Joe’s
35 came to his shop from the nearest town, but sometimes he got up earlier than usual in the morning and
36 into the city to choose meat. It was
37 there.
Joe had a big
38 in his shop, but he tried not to buy too
39 meat at a time, and to
40 it before he bought more.
One
41 a woman came into the shop at five minutes to one. “Sorry I’m late,” she said, “but some friends have just telephoned to say that they are coming to
42 tonight, and I need more
43 .”
Joe only had one piece of meat in the shop. He had sold all the others
44 in the day. He took the piece
45 and said to the woman, “This is 6.5 pounds.”
“That piece is too
46 .” the woman said. “Haven’t you got anything bigger?”
Joe went
47 the room behind his shop, opened the refrigerator, put the piece of meat into it, took it out
48 and shut the door of the refrigerator
49 , then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and said, “This piece is bigger and more expensive. It’s 8.75 pounds.”
“Good,” the woman answered with a smile, “give me
50 of them, please.”
