Question

Mrs Harris wanted to hold a big party.She was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6：00 to 8：30 pm”．

“That isn't very nice，is it？” he said.“You are telling our guests that they must go home at 8：30 pm.” So Mrs Harris just wrote, “Party: 6：30 pm”．

A lot of guests came，and they all had a good time，so they didn't go home at 8：30 pm.In fact，they were still there at midnight when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived.He said，“You must stop making noise because someone has complained.”

Mr Harris said he didn't want to quarrel (吵架) with the policeman，so everybody went home.They were sorry to have to go.

“I did，” Mr Harris answered in a tired voice.
