A rare book.

One day Mr. and Mrs. Brown went up to London to do some shopping. They had a busy day, though in the end they did not buy very much, and by about four o’clock they were both looking forward to having a cup of tea. They found a restaurant but, just before they went in, Mrs. Brown remembered that she had to buy some medicine for their son, who had a bad cough.

While she was in the chemist’s, her husband noticed a bookshop on the other side of the street. He went across to have a look in the window and saw a copy of a novel written by an author who was famous in the last century. He had always been especially interested in this writer, so he went in an bought a book. His wife was waiting for him when he came out. He showed her the book, but she did not look at all pleased: she always use to say that the old books he bought made her house look dirty.

After they had their cup of tea, they caught the train back to the seaside town where they lived. Much to their surprise, an ex-neighbour of theirs, whom they had not seen for years, got into the same compartment. They were both pleased to see him, after all these years, but, as they soon remembered, he was a great talker. If he got the opportunity, he would talk for hours. However, he happened to notice the book which Mr. Brown had bought and he picked it up to examine the title. He opened the book and as he did so, his eyes lit up. He asked Mr. Brown how much he had paid for it. Mrs. Brown told him: only a few shillings. The man said he was very lucky: the book was a rare edition and was worth several pounds.(After Donn Byrne)
