A Hard Day for Frank

Frank has his very own clothing store and he is a big fish in the fashion industry. All designers want their clothes to be sold at Frank’s. Frank chooses only those designs that he thinks are original and will catch on quickly. When he saw Andy’s summer collection, he was utterly disappointed. It turned out that most of Andy’s designs were ripped off from other designers. Eventually, Frank decided to pull out his collection and check out other designers. However, all of them were equally disappointing. By the end of the day, after all the fashion shows he had attended, Frank was completely worn out.
