Mrs Harris wanted to hold a big party. She
was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was
writing, "Party: 6:00 to 8:30 p. m.".
"That isn't very nice, is it?" he
said. "You are telling our guests that they must go home at 8:30 p. m."
So Mrs Harris just wrote, "Party: 6:30 p. m.".
A lot of guests came, and they all had a
good time, so they didn't go home at 8:30 p.m. In fact, they were still there
at midnight when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, "You
must stop making noise because someone has complained."
Mr Harris said he didn't want to quarrel(吵架) with the policeman, so everybody went home. They were sorry to
have to go.
When Mr and Mrs Harris were alone again,
she said to him, "That was a surprise, wasn't it? Who complained about the
noise?"
"I did," Mr Harris answered in a
tired voice.
