Mrs Lee hardly knew anything about it then, ?

You to answer the question now.

    When I was a child, I liked people with blue eyes. I had a few dolls, and I amade their eyes blue. I was really very happy with my dolls with blue eyes. Time went q.

    Soon I was not a child any m. I finished my studies when I was 20. I liked to drive my father's old car. Once I went to a town nearby. I was busy that day and pmy car near the office. In a few minutes I came back and a young policeman was waiting for me nmy car. I was not hto see him because I knew I had parked badly. I gave him a few pounds for the fine and just then I saw his blue eyes. I said to him, "Your eyes are so nice." He smiled and said goodbye to me. In the evening the blue-eyed policeman telephoned me. The next day we went to the cinema. And what else? My story has a happy ending. We married and we now live happily t.

    Peter was a mailman. Five days a week he rode his bicycle from village to village delivering letters. He knew everybody and everybody knew him.

    "Here comes Peter," the children called, and their parents came to the doors of their houses. Everybody liked Peter, and of course everyone especially liked getting letters.

    "Something for you today," Peter would call and he would get off his bicycle and take a letter or a package out of the bag. Or he would say, "Sorry, nothing for you today," and rode on.

    Even the dogs knew and liked Peter, and although they barked at strangers, they never barked at him except for one dog. Its owner, Mrs Lin, had not lived in the village for many weeks, and every time the dog saw Peter, it started barking. When Peter came to Mrs Lin's house, he rode his bicycle faster. There were never any letters for her so he did not have to stop. Then one day, there was a letter for her. Peter stopped his bicycle some distance from Mrs Lin's house. The dog started barking.

Mrs Lin came to the door.

    "A letter for you!" Peter shouted.

    "Why can't you bring it to me?" Mrs Lin shouted back.

    "What about your dog?" Peter said. "I don't want it to bite me." Mrs Lin laughed. "Don't be frightened," she said. "Everyone knows the old saying "A barking dog never bites."

    "You know the old saying and I know it," Peter said, "but how do you know that your dog knows it?"
