“Let’s go to Wal-Mart,” Elizabeth told Kenneth. She wanted to buy some paint supplies. He suggested that they go to Home Depot instead because employees there could tell them exactly what to buy. After arriving there, Elizabeth found a friendly looking worker who was momentarily free.

“Excuse me,” she said. “Could you help us?” She explained that she wanted to paint her office. “Neither me nor my husband knows how to do it, so please tell us the basics,” she added. He smiled and told her that it was simple. All they needed were two gallons of white glossy paint, a roller, a tray and an insert to pour the paint in, and an extension-handle to reach the high parts of each wall.

“Don’t we need primer?” Kenneth asked.

“Oh, yes, of course. I was getting to that. If you don’t put primer on first, the paint won’t stick to the walls. Here are two gallons of good, but inexpensive, primer. And a brush would be a good idea for use in the corners and edges. And that should take care of it. Just put the primer on first. Let it dry for a couple of hours. Then put on one coat of paint. Let it dry. Then, if you want to, put on another coat, but it shouldn’t be necessary.”

As they were putting the items into the trunk, Kenneth told her they should buy a ladder, too. “We’re going to have to use the brush to paint up near the ceiling. The roller won’t do in a corner,” Kenneth said.

“We don’t need a stepladder. I can sit on your shoulders,” Elizabeth laughed. They went back inside and bought a stepladder.

"Chúng ta không cần một cái thang gập. Em có thể ngồi lên vai anh," Elizabeth cười. Họ đi trở lại cửa hàng và mua một cái thang gập.

"Chúng ta tới Wal-Mart đi," Elizabeth nói với Kenneth. Cô muốn mua một ít vật dụng sơn phết. Anh đề nghị thay vì tới đó, họ hãy đến Home Depot vì những nhân viên ở đó có thể nói cho họ biết một cách chính xác là mua thứ gì. Sau khi tới đó, Elizabeth thấy một nhận viên có vẻ mặt thân thiện, là người đang rảnh rang trong giây lát.

"Xin thứ lỗi," cô nói. "Anh có thể giúp chúng tôi không ạ?" Cô giải thích cô muốn sơn phòng làm việc của mình. "Cả tôi lẫn chồng tôi không biết phải làm việc đó như thế nào, vì thế anh vui lòng cho chúng tôi biết những việc cần thiết nhất," cô nói thêm. Anh ta mĩm cười và bảo cô việc đó thật đơn giản. Tất cả những gì người ta cần là hai ga-lông sơn bóng màu trắng, một con lăn, một cái khay và một cây gạt để rót sơn vào, và một cây sào dài để có thể với tới những phần xa nhất của các bức tường.

"Chúng tôi không cần sơn lót sao?" Kenneth hỏi.

"Ồ, tất nhiên là có chứ. Tôi đang tính nói đây. Nếu anh chị không sơn lót trước, sơn sẽ không dính vào tường được. Đây là hai ga-lông sơn lót loại tốt nhưng không mắc lắm. Và một cây cọ sẽ là một ý hay để sơn trong các góc tường và gờ tường. Và nhớ giữ gìn cây cọ cẩn thận. Đầu tiên hãy quét một lớp sơn lót. Để sơn khô trong hai tiếng đồng hồ. Tiếp theo quét một lớp sơn. Để cho sơn khô. Sau đó, nếu anh chị muốn, hãy sơn thêm một lớp nữa, nhưng điều này không cần thiết lắm.

Trong khi để các món hàng vào thùng sau xe hơi, Kenneth bảo cô là họ cũng nên mua một cái thang. "Chúng ta phải dùng cọ để sơn phía trên gần trần nhà. Con lăn không dùng trong các góc tường được," Kenneth nói.

"Chúng ta không cần một cái thang xếp đâu. Em có thể ngồi trên vai anh mà," Elizabeth cười lớn. Họ đi trở lại phía trong và mua một cái thang xếp.
