The last time I was going shopping was yesterday, on Friday. I went shopping for earrings for my wife and a shirt for myself. Later, I went to a store selling birds. I bought two canaries, a classic yellow one and an hybrid. I needed a cage. The store selling cages was not far from there. I bought a red and yellow one. I put the birds inside. Many people were going shopping for somethimg to eat. A girl was going shopping for a cell phone. A man was trying on sunglasses.
