Better late than Never
John was a very busy man. He always forgot his family's
birthday. Yesterday afternoon he remembered it was his wife's birthday. He
loved his wife. He wanted to give a present
to her. On his way home from his office he bought some flowers in a shop.
When John got home, he gave the present to his wife and
said, "Happy birthday to you, dear! It's September 28 today. I think it's
your birthday."
John said laughingly, "My birthday was the day before
yesterday. But thank you all the same. Better late than never."
