  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 window.When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill(賬單)for his 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      10th November, 2011

  Cost of wood        $17∶00

  Paint           $1.50

  Work, 8 hours($1 an hour)  $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 will be a lot colder by the end of the month.”

  “Yes, colder-and more expensive! Dining table 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's not too much trouble, John,” I said,“Please add(加)it up again, You can forget the date…”

  I paid him $26.50 and he was happy to get it.
