Lesson 273

2) A man in Switzerland A long time ago, man had some business in Switzerland, so that he took leave of his wife at the airport and got on the plane. After ten days his work in Switzerland was finished, and so he bought a ticket for the journey back home. Then he went to the post office to send a telegram to his wife. After having written it, he gave it to the woman at the counter. The telegram read: 'My love! I'll be back tonight.' He asked how much it cost. She told him, and he counted his Swiss money. He did not have enough and did not want to change more. "Take the words 'my love' out of my telegram," he said, "then I have enough money to pay for it!" "No," she said opening her purse, and took out some money. "For the words 'My Love,' I will pay. Wives need these words from their husbands."
