Tom lives in a city. His apartment is old. The apartment is small. Tom likes his home. Tom has a big window. The window is old too. The window frame is wood. The window has a crack. Cold air comes inside. Tom feels cold. He looks at the glass. The glass is thin. The crack is long. Tom wants warm air. He plans to fix it. Today is Saturday. Tom wakes up early. He eats an apple. He drinks warm water. He wears a cotton shirt. He puts on cotton pants. He opens his tool box. The tool box is heavy. He has a small hammer. He has strong glue. He has a new glass piece. He has a tape measure. He has a soft cloth. The cloth is cotton. Tom goes to the window. He opens the window slowly. The wind blows hard. Tom cleans the wood. He wipes the dust. The wood is dirty. Now the wood is clean. Tom takes out old nails. He works very carefully. The old nails are small. He puts them away. Next, he removes old glass. The old glass is bad. Tom puts it down. The frame is empty now. Tom checks the wood. The wood is dry. Tom feels hungry now. He goes to the kitchen. He gets some fresh bread. He puts peanut butter on it. He eats his simple meal. He drinks cool water. Tom walks back to work.
