Weekend again. Mrs. Bell after her busy work finally gets the time to shop. She has a hard time in the busy traffic. But she is lucky enough to be able to park her car outside the supermarket. Mrs. Bell goes in and finds her trolley. First she goes to the Grocery Department and gets some apples and oranges. Then, coming to the Poultry Department, she gets some steaks. She also picks a bottle of wine, for the weekend dinner party of course. There, she meets Mrs. Young, with her three-year-old daughter. She is sitting in the trolley, as she is too heavy. While Mrs. Bell is talking with Mrs. Young, the three-year-old girl Lily, who is not interested in their talk, finds a bottle of whisky and begins to play with it.
