2) Telephone Mrs Miller waited for a phone call, but she had no bread in the house, so she left the baby at home and said to his five-year-old brother, "I’ m going to the shop, Peter, and I will be back in five minutes." Then, the telephone rang, and Peter answered the phone. "Hello," a man said, "Is your mother at home?" "No, she isn’t" Peter replied. "Tell her, Mr Baker has phoned, when she comes back." "What?" "Mr Baker. Write it down! B-A-K-E-R." "How can I write a B?" "How can you write a B? Listen, my boy! Is there a brother or sister in the house?" "My brother John is here with me." "Well, I want to speak to him." Peter brought the phone to the baby’s bed and gave it to John. When their mother came back, she asked: "Has a man called?" "Yes," Peter said, "but he wanted to talk to John."
