Our village carpenter(木匠), John Bill, 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(账单)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 on that when I see the bill.” I said.
One dining table 10 November *
Cost(成本)of wood $ 17.00
Paint S 1.50
Work, 8 hours($ 1 an hour) $ 8.00
Total(合计) $ 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 bill 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.
