  Henry was a carpenter(木匠)of our village.Once I asked him to make a dining table for my wife.He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows.When I arrived home that evening, Henry was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for his work.

  My wife said to me, quietly, “That's his ninth cup of tea today.”But she said loudly, “It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?”

  “I won't decide about that until I see that bill.”I said.

  Henry laughed and gave me his bill for the work. It said:

  When I was looking at the bill, Henry said, “It's been 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'll be a bit hotter by the end of the month.”

  “Yes.Hotter-and more expensive.Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th, won't they, Henry?”

  Henry looked hard at me for half a minute.There was a little smile in his two blue eyes.I gave his bill back to him.

  “If it isn't too much trouble, Henry,” I said, “Please add it up again.You can forget the date.”

  I paid him 26.50 and he was happy to get it.
