Joe Biggs was a butcher (屠夫). His shop was in a village in one of the most beautiful parts of southern England. He worked in it for many years while his father was there. Then, when his father reached the age of 65, he stopped working in the shop. Joe was alone in it, so he had to work harder.      Joe worked five and a half days a week. His shop shut at one o'clock on Thursday, and it was shut the whole of Sunday. Saturdays were the busiest days.      Joe had a big fridge in his shop, but he tried not to buy too much meat at a time.      One Thursday a woman came into the shop at five minutes to one. "I'm sorry I'm very late," she said, "but some people have just telephoned to say that they are going to come to dinner tonight, and I need some more meat."      Joe only had one piece of good meat in the shop. He had sold all the rest earlier in the day. He took the piece out and said to the woman. "This is ￡7 15." "That piece is too small," the woman answered. "Haven't you got anything bigger?"      Joe went into the room behind his shop, opened the fridge, put the piece of meat into it, took it out again and shut the door of the fridge with a lot of noise. Then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and said, "This piece is bigger and more expensive. It's ￡9. 30."      " Good," the woman answered with a smile, "give me both of them, please."
