一位老妇人走进一家眼镜店，她试了一副眼镜，然后试了一副又一副，但没有一副看上去合适。过了一会儿，耐心的店主对她说：“夫人，别着急，一切都会变好的。你知道，要买一副合适的眼镜不容易。” “是啊，是不容易，”老妇人答道，“给朋友买就更不容易了。”

An old lady went into a shop which sold glasses. She tried one pair of glasses, and then another pair and another, but none of them seemed to be right. The patient shopkeeper said to the lady after some time, “Now, don’t worry, madam. Everything will be all right in the end. It is not easy to get just the right glasses, you know.” “No, it isn’t” answered the old lady, “And it’s even more difficult when you are shopping for a friend.”
