When i was at school, i spent two summers at my grandfather’s. they were the holidays i’ve ever had. grandpa lived alone in a country cottage near a small river. grandpa’s hobby was making birdhouses. he always said that he a hobby to fill his free time. grandpa’s workshop was full of all kinds of tools. there a big table, hammers, nails, paints, and what not. and all the tools carefully in their places. that was grandpa’s number one rule. the rule was, “never buy a new tool if the old one still works.” in the workshop, when he the birdhouses, i asked him lots of questions about birds. he a lot about them! he could tell one bird from another by their songs and footprints. i was surprised that grandpa / the birdhouses in bright colours. he explained to that birds prefer natural colours that make their houses more difficult to notice and, for that reason, safer.

When we want to buy something, we must go to the shop where it is sold. In the shop window we see what is sold in the shop. 
Sugar, tea, coffee, salt, pepper, ham, bacon, and so on are sold at the grocer’s. Bread is sold at the baker’s, meat at the butcher’s. We go to the greengrocer’s for vegetables and fruit. We buy boots and shoes at the shoeshop. We buy books at the bookseller’s and jewelleryand watches at the jeweller’s. 
The salesman or salesgirl stands behind the counter. We ask the salesman: "How much is this?” or "What is the price of that?” He tells us the price. He gives us the bill. At the cashdesk we give the money and the bill to the cashier, who gives us a check and our change. The salesman wraps up the goods and gives them to us. We put them in our bag. 
Some shops have many departments. We can buy nearly everything we need there. They are called department stores. In some shops there are no salesmen, but only cashiers. The customers choose the goods they want and pay at the cashdesk. These are called self-service shops. If someone tries to take things from a shop without paying they are almost certain to be caught. Most shops have store detectives who have the job catching shoplifters. Shoplifting is considered a serious crime by the police.
