Participial constructions.
Having seen an advertisement in a newspaper for a beautiful modern cheap bicycle,
Tom went to the shop. Being busy with another customers the shopkeeper didn't come to Tom
immediately. Waiting for the shopkeeper Tom attentively looked around the shop and saw
one bicycle standing in the corner. The bicycle turned out to be exactly the one Tom had seen
in the advertisement. But having examined it carefully he discovered that it lacked the lamp.
Turning to the shopkeeper Tom angrily asked why there was no lamp. Being surprised by his
anger the shopkeeper tried to explain that the lamp was not included in the price of the
bicycle. Having heard this Tom said that the bicycle in the advertisement had the lamp.
Having a good sense of humour the shopkeeper said calmly that there was also a girl on the
bicycle in their advertisement but they didn't supply one of them with the bicycle either.
