Wrong Color
Today Ms. Green was very late for work. She waited for
the delivery of her new chair. Butthe delivery man brought the wrong chair. Ms. Green
called the store manager.
"I ordered a brown chair," she said, "not green!"
"Don't be angry," said the manager. "We all make mistakes, don't we?"
"Some people make bigger mistakes than others!" Ms. Green answered.
The manager found her order.
"Ha," he laughed. Another customer, Mr. Brown, ordered a green chair and got your chair
instead. Isn't that funny?"
"No, it isn't. I want my chair. I paid enough money for it," said Ms. Green. "Come to
the store now and get a different chair," he said.
But Ms. Green went to work instead. After work, she went to the store, but it was
already closed. A handsome young man was also there.
"I'm late," he said. "Now I have to wait until tomorrow for my green chair."
"Are you Mr. Brown?" she asked. "Yes, but ... "
"I can help you with your chair," said Ms. Green. And she smiled for the first time that day.

Color incorrecto
Hoy la señorita Green llegaba muy tarde al trabajo. Esperó la entrega de su nueva silla.
Pero el repartidor trajo la silla equivocada. La Sra. Green llamó al gerente de la tienda.

"Pedí una silla marrón", dijo, "¡no verde!"

"No te enojes", dijo el gerente. "Todos cometemos errores, ¿no?"

"¡Algunas personas cometen errores más grandes que otros!" La Sra. Green respondió.

El gerente encontró su orden.

"Ha", se rió. Otro cliente, el Sr. Brown, ordenó una silla verde y consiguió su silla en su
lugar. ¿No es gracioso?

"No, no lo es. Quiero mi silla. Pagué suficiente dinero por ella", dijo la Sra. Green. "Ven a
la tienda ahora y consigue una silla diferente", dijo.

Pero la Sra. Green fue a trabajar en su lugar. Después del trabajo, ella fue a la tienda, pero
ya estaba cerrada. Un joven apuesto también estaba allí.

"Llego tarde", dijo. "Ahora tengo que esperar hasta mañana por mi silla verde".

"¿Eres el señor Brown?" ella preguntó. "Sí, pero ... "

"Puedo ayudarlo con su silla", dijo la Sra. Green. Y ella sonrió por primera vez ese día.

Why is the story called "Wrong Color"? Who ordered a green chair? Who ordered a brown
chair? What happened? Write the answer and send it to your teacher.

¿Por qué la historia se llama "Color equivocado"? ¿Quién ordenó una silla verde? ¿Quién
ordenó una silla marrón? ¿Que pasó? Escribe la respuesta y envíala a tu profesor.

Announcer: Welcome to "Sheila's Kitchen." Today's program is about salads. Good
morning, Sheila.
Sheila: Hello, Mike. And good morning to all our listeners. When I was young,
we ate green salads - lettuce or cucumbers - with some salt and a
little lemon juice. My mother served the salad with meat, chicken, and
fish. But today, salads can be your meal. Salads are healthy summer
foods. And for dessert, some people like a fresh fruit salad. And now,
a few words about Durelle plates and dishes. You can cook in them,
bake in them, and freeze food in them, too. Buy Durelle products and
enjoy them in the kitchen and on your table. They are strong enough
for cooking. They are pretty enough for guests. Now let's return to our
salads.
Locutor:
Bienvenido a "La cocina de Sheila". El programa de hoy es sobre
ensaladas. Buenos días, Sheila.

Sheila:
Hola mike. Y buenos días a todos nuestros oyentes. Cuando era joven,
comíamos ensaladas verdes (lechuga o pepinos) con un poco de sal y
un poco de jugo de limón. Mi madre sirvió la ensalada con carne, pollo
y pescado. Pero hoy, las ensaladas pueden ser tu comida. Las
ensaladas son alimentos saludables de verano. Y para el postre, a
algunas personas les gusta una ensalada de fruta fresca. Y ahora,
unas palabras sobre los platos y platos de Durelle. Puedes cocinar en
ellos, hornear en ellos y congelar los alimentos en ellos también.
Compre productos Durelle y disfrútelos en la cocina y en su mesa.
Son lo suficientemente fuertes para cocinar. Son lo suficientemente
bonitos para los invitados. Ahora volvamos a nuestras ensaladas.
