Henry was a very vain(爱慕虚荣的) man and he spent plenty of time looking at himself in the mirror. He even went to the barber's shop every week to have his hair cut.

He believed that every woman thought he was handsome. He did not have women friends, but he had an explanation(解释) for this. "I'm so excellent that the women can't make a perfect match with(和……般配) me. That's why they don't make friends with me."

The note said, "Please write to me and give me a photo of yourself." The note was signed "Julia" and there was an address to write to. Henry wrote to Julia at once, telling her about himself. Then he put a photo of himself in the envelope(信封) and posted it.

A week passed and then he received a reply. He opened it quickly, hoping there would be a photo of a beautiful woman inside and that she would like to make friends with him.

However, it was very disappointing(令……失望的) to him. The letter said, "Dear Henry, thank you for writing to me. I work in the clothes factory. Everyone in the factory wants to know what kind of fool will buy such an ugly shirt."

1.Henry went to the barber's shop every month.

2.Henry didn't want people to know how old he was.

3.Henry bought a beautiful shirt from a high-fashion men's shop.

4.Henry didn't receive Julia's photo.
