A Small Watch

Because I will use it every day, I want a small and light watch.
On Saturday, I went to the department store to buy one.
But all the watches in the store were big.
I asked the store clerk, ‘Do you have other watches?‘
The store clerk said, ‘I am sorry, it is only these.‘
Because I could not buy one, I was a little disappointed.
