des chaussures pour l' ecole et un cadeau pour son petit ami.

Elle est entree en hate dans le magasin et est allee dans le rayon des vetements pour
femme ou elle a essaye la robe et les chaussures. Puis elle est allee dans le rayon de
musique pour acheter le cadeau de son copain. Elle etait sur le point de partir quand elle
