Each of them was taking lessons:Joe with a famous art teacher,and Delia with a great pianist from Germany.Their teachers were the very best,so lessons were expensive,more than they could really afford,but…when you love your art,nothing is too much.
But soon the money began to run out,and they couldn't afford the lessons any more.

Then,one day,Joe came home and saw that Delia's hand was wrapped in a bandage(绷带).He asked her what had happened."Oh,"said Delia."My student,Sally,asked me to make some coffee for her.I dropped the coffee and burned my hand.Sally went straight to the drugstore and got this bandage for me."
"Delia,what have you been doing the last two weeks?"Joe asked.She tried not to tell him,but the tears came."Oh Joe,I couldn't get any students,so I worked as a waitress in a restaurant.Today,I burned my hand with hot water.So I can't work any more.But we'll still have money from the man in Vermont,won't we?"
Joe looked at her."There's no man in Vermont,"he said."I've been working in a drugstore,and today someone came in to buy bandages for a woman who's burned her hand.So when I saw you,well,I guessed."
They both laughed.
