Our 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 windows．When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for the 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 10 November
Cost of wood ￡17.00
Paint 1.5
Work, 8 hours 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’ll be a lot colder by the end of the month．”
“Yes．Colder－and more expensive!Dining tables 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 back to him．
“If it isn’t too much trouble, John,” I said, “please add it up again．You can forget the date．”
I paid him ￡26.50 and he was happy to get it．
