One evening, the Jones are having supper at the table. Just then, the telephone bell rings. Mrs Jones goes to answer the telephone. A tired man says, “Excuse me, at what time does your last movie begin?”
“I’m sorry.” says Mrs Jones, “But you have the wrong number. This is not the cinema.”
“Oh, sorry, it began twenty minutes ago? Thank you all the same. Goodbye.” Says the man.
Mrs Jones is very surprised(惊讶), so she tells her husband（丈夫）the whole thing. Her husband, Mr Jones laughs(笑)and says: “I see. The man’s wife wants to go to a movie, but he is tired. He doesn’t want to go to a movie. So he telephones the cinema. His wife hears(听见)him, but she can’t hear you. Now they stay at home this evening, and the husband is very happy and he can have a good rest(休息)at home.”
