Exercise XXVII.

I suspected that you would be thirsty and your brother hungry; that is the reason (busa man ngani) I brought you hither—I am sorry, however, not to see your mother—Why do you not drink coffee?—If I were not sleepy I would drink it—Sometimes you are sleepy, sometimes cold, sometimes are you hungry and sometimes thirsty—A man having seen that old men used spectacles (nagasalamin) to read, went to a merchant and asked for a pair. The man then took a book, and having opened it, said the spectacles were not good. The merchant gave him another pair of the best, which he could find in his shop; but the man being still unable to read, the merchant said to him: “My friend, do you know how to read”?—If I know to read, answered the man, I should not want your spectacles.
