Lesson 290

3) A new phone number Mr Miller had a new phone number. Before he got it, it was the number of a shop. The store by then had a new number, but many women did not know that, so they continued to call the old one. At first, Mr and Mrs Miller always said, "Sorry, you chose the wrong number, the shop has a new one now." But women continued to call them to order something, so that after a certain time Mr and Mrs Miller began to answer in that way, "Good morning, madam, what shall we send you today?" The couple thought they might stop calling the women if those did not get their things. But that did not help Mr and Mrs Miller, because the women started to call them even more, and furiously lamented, "Where are my things? I have not received my things yet! Why haven’t you sent my things yet?"
