　　Mr. Anderson lives in a big city in America. Last year he came to England to visit the small town which his father had come from.

　　There was a big, square garden in this town. One day, while Mr. Anderson was walking past, he stopped outside and looked in. There was beautiful grass in the middle of the garden. It was green and short and soft.

　　A gardener was watering it, and Mr. Anderson said to him, “Good morning. Is this your garden?”

　　“No”, answered the gardener, “It isn't mine, but I work here. ”

　　“How do people get such beautiful lawns?” Mr. Anderson asked, “Ours are never as good as this. ”

　　The gardener stopped his work and looked at Mr. Anderson. Then he said, “you come from America, don't you?”

　　Mr. Anderson answered, “Yes, but my father came from this town. ”

　　“Well,” the gardener said, “It's easy to grow lawns like this. ” He asked Mr. Anderson to come in , and said , “Let me tell you about it. ”

　　Mr. Anderson went into the garden. “My name's Anderson , ” he said to the gardener , “Joe Anderson. What's yours?”

　　“My name's Gray. ” the gardener answered. “Pete Gray. Now about the lawns. First we sow (plant) our seeds; then when the grass appears, we pull all the weeds out; after that, we cut the grass every week, we water it every day when the weather is very dry during the summer season, and we sometimes roll it (press it down with a special roller). ”

　　“Oh,” Mr. Anderson answered, “That's very interesting, Pete. And how long does it take before the lawn becomes like this?”

Cosmo Books Ltd．,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　14, Woodman Road,

Hertford Estate, 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Two Bridges,

Rickmansworth, 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　West Sussex．

Middx．

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　25th February

Sir,

　　Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare．Your company, Cosmo books Ltd．, offered this set(eight books of plays and two books of poetry)at what was claimed to be a ‘remarkable’ price：fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing．I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them．

　　Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered．So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare．Two more weeks passed．Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French．Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all．However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice．

　　You did not reply to that letter．Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German．Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have．The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside．

　　I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me．

　　Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment．Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid．

Yours faithfully,

SIMON WALKER
