     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:

     "Yes. Hotter一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

seller." It was only then that he would take the money.
