" He comes in two or three times a week,and he always buys two loaves of stale bread." Miss Martha said. " Stale bread?"Mrs Annie ask.
"Always stale bread,never fresh bread. Of course,fresh bread is five cents a loaf, stale bread is five cents for two loaves." said Miss Martha.
"And you think he is poor? " Mrs Annie ask again. "Oh,yes,he is, Annie, I'm sure.One day I saw some red and brown paint on his fingers."
' He's a painter ' said Miss Martha to herself.

"Well, we all know that painters are very often poor. But can you be sure that he's a painter?Just because he has paint on his fingers...." In Mrs Annie mind theres a lot of questions about that man. Miss Martha takes a painting out from under the counter.
" I'm going to put this on my wall. If he's a painter,he'll see it and say something about it." said Miss Martha with high level confident of his plan.
"Very clever, Martha. But tell me, are you a little in love with this man?" said Mrs Annie laughing and ask Martha again. Omg! Someone will fell in love or no?!
