13.Henry was a carpenterof our village.Once I asked him to make a table for my family.A week later,Henry sent us the table and the bill as well.
My wife said to me,"It's a beautiful table,dear,isn't it?"
"I won't decide about that until I see the bill."I said.
Henry was drinking a glass of water.He laughed and gave me a piece of paper.It said,
Bill One dining table June 10,2011 Cost of wood 17.00 Paint 1.50 Work,8hours (1an hour) 8.00 Total(總計) 36.50 |
When I was looking at the bill,Henry said,"It's a fine day,isn't it?Quite sunny."
"Yes,"I said."I'm glad it is only the 10th of June."
"Me too,"said Henry."You wait.It will be a bit hotter by the end of the month."
"Yes,hotter and more expensive.The table will be 20more expensive on June 30th,won't they,Henry?"I said,"If it isn't too much trouble,please add it up again.You can forget the date."
"OK,man.You are such a guy."Henry said with a smile in his two blue eyes,and he left with the money he should get.
