DIZZY SPELLS

Mr. Dripp was rather a rich man, but he was not happy as he often had dizzy spells. The doctor could do nothing for him. So he advised a change of climate. He sent Mr. Dripp to California and Arizona but it did not help him. At last the doctor said to Mr. Dripp, "You must make a trip around the world and find out which climate is the best for you." Before Mr. Dripp went on a trip he decided to buy himself a few things at a department store. He bought two pairs of shoes, a suit for summer wear and at last decided to buy several shirts. He asked the shop-assistant to show him size 14 shirts. The shop-assistant said to Mr. Dripp that he must take size 16. "No," answered Mr. Dripp. "I always wear size 14." "But," said the shop-assistant again, "you must wear shirts of a larger size." Mr. Dripp did not agree, "I want you to wrap up size 14 shirts for me," he said.

"Very well," agreed the shop-assistant, "if you want to have dizzy spells, buy size 14."

It was a surprise to Mr. Dripp but he understood why he had always had dizzy spells.

dizzy spells приступы головокружения; rich богатый;

a climate ['klaimit] климат; at last [әt 'la:st] наконец;

around [ә'raund] вокруг; to agree [ә'gri:] согласиться;

to wrap up [ræр] завертывать
