问题详情:
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:
BILL One dining table June 10,1995 Cost of wood 17. 00 Paint(油漆) 1. 50 Work,8 hours(1 an hour) 8. 00 Total(总计) 36. 50 |
When I was looking at the bill,Henry said,"it’s been a fine day,hasn’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.
