0ur village carpenter(木匠),John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two window. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill( 賬單) for his job.
My wife said to me quietly, “That’s his ninth cup of tea today. ”But she said in a loud voice, “It’s a beautiful table, dear, isn’t it?” “I’ll decide about that when I see the bill,” I said. John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:
One dining table 10th November, 2011
Cost of wood $ 17:00
Paint $1. 50
Work, 8 hours($1 an hour) $8. 00
Total $36. 50
When I was looking at the bill, John said,” It’s been a fine day, hasn’t it? Quite sunny. ”
“Yes,” I said. “I’m glad it’s only the 10th of November. ”
“Me, too,” said John, “you wait—it will be a lot colder by the end of the month. ”
“Yes, colder—and more expensive! Dining table will be $20 more expensive on November 30th, won’t they, John?”
John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.
“If it’s not too much trouble, John,” I said,“Please add(加) it up again, You can forget the date-------”

My brother, John, is a college student. Last year he went to Italy and stayed for two months. I was surprised that John was able to have such a long holiday, because he never had any money.
“How did you manage it, John?” I asked.“I thought you were going to stay for two weeks.”
“It was easy,” John answered.“I got a job.”
“A job?” I asked in surprise.“What did you do?”
“I gave English lessons to a shop manager,” John answered.
“His name is Luigi. We have become good friends.”
“But you’re not a teacher,” I said.
“I told Luigi I couldn’t teach,” John explained.“But he insisted on having conversation(會(huì)話) lessons. He wanted to practise his English. He had a lot of American customers, so it was important for him to speak English. I spent three hours a day talking to him. In return he gave me a room, three meals a day and a little pocket of money.”
