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 , 1995Cost of wood 17.00Paint（油漆）1.50Work，8 hours（1 an hour） 8.00Total（總計）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一it’ll be a bit hotter by the end of the month.”
“Yes. Hotter一and more expensive. Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30^th , 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
