One day an old woman came into the shop. She was very rich and she came to the shop every week. She came to Sue’s chair and sat down.

“Good morning,” Sue said to her. “Do you want me to cut your hair today?”

“No,” the old woman said. “I don’t want you to cut it. I want you to dye it. My hair is white and I don’t like white. I want another color. Old people have white hair. I don’t want to be old.”

“Which colors do you want?”

“Which colors can I have?” the old woman asked.

“You can have black,” Sue said, “or brown. Some women are having red this year. You can even have blue.”

“Oh no,” the old woman said. “I don’t want blue. I’ll have black.” And then she sat back in the chair, close her eyes and went to sleep.

“Good, I’ll meet you when you finish work,” he said. “Bye.”

Sue put down the telephone. She was very happy. “What dress shall I put on?” she thought.

She took a bottle from the table and walked back to the old woman. “I’ll ask one of the girls here to cut my hair for me this afternoon.” she thought. She opened the bottle. “I want to be pretty for Tom,” she thought as she put the dye on the old woman’s hair.

Oh no! Sue cried. She looked at the bottle of dye. It was not the right bottle. “I must wash her hair again,” she thought. Then she remembered the dye would not come out in water. The old woman must wait until new hair grows. Oh, what shall I do? She’ll be very angry. Sue began to cry.
