After breakfast, Mr. Bliss puts on his green hat and goes out.
He says, 'I want to buy a car!'
So he gets on his bicycle and rides down the hill to the village. He walks into the shop and says, 'I want a car.'
'What color?' asks Mr. Binks, the shopkeeper.
'Bright yellow,' says Mr. Bliss.
'That is five shillings,' says Mr. Binks.
'And I want red wheels,' says Mr. Bliss.
'That is sixpence more.'
'Very well,' says Mr. Bliss, 'only I left my purse at home.'
'Very well, then leave your bicycle here. When you bring your money you can have it back.'
It is a beautiful bicycle by the way. It is all silver. But the bicycle does not have pedals. Why? Because Mr. Bliss only rides downhill!
