A man wanted to open a shoe shop in Coralio. One day Johnny got a letter from the town he came from. People asaked what they could sell to the people who lived in Coralio. There wasn’t much work for the American Consul in the town, and Johnny’s friend Billy often came to see them. But they quarrelled, she refused to see him and he went to Coralio, a little town in South America, where he found a job and began working as an American Consul. Johnny was a young man who lived in America. "No 'buts'! You cannot expect me to allow my daughter to marry a man, who hasn't even got a watch, can you?" The text is about … "No 'buts'! You cannot expect me to allow my daughter to marry a man, who hasn't even got a watch, can you?" George asked the time because … The next thing that will happen is that you will ask my permission to marry her." "But …" "My daughter is a very pretty girl, he continued, "so you will be pleasant to her. Then, when you come to my house, you'll meet my daughter. After that, I shall invite you to my house and you will accept. You will offer me a drink at the bar and I shall accept.
Then, when the train stops, we'll find that we both get off at the same station. You are a pleasant young man, so if I tell you the time, we'll start talking to each other.
"I've got very good reasons for not telling you the time. The train seemed to be going very slowly, and as George was afraid that he would arrive at his grandmother's place late, he said to the fat gentleman, "Excuse me, sir, can you please tell me the time?" He travelled in the middle of the morning, so there were not many people, but sitting opposite George was a fat gentleman wearing expensive clothes and carrying a stick with a gold top. As he didn’t have a car, he had to travel by train. One day, George, who was tall, handsome and twenty-three years old, went to visit his grandmother, who lived in a small town fifty miles from his home.
