A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long. He went to the kitchen. His mother and sisters were washing up the tea things there. “The new trousers are too long,” he said. “They need shortening by about two inches. Could one of you do it for me, please?” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything. After his mother finished washing up, she went to her son’s bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches.

Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quickly to his brother’s bedroom without saying anything to anyone, and shortened the trousers by two inches. The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came home, she also remembered her brother’s trousers. “I nearly forgot that.” She thought. Then she shortened them by two inches.
