Lesson 352

3) Copies A clerk working in a small office at a company found that there were so many files in his office that there was no room for any more. Additionally, each file was so full that no more papers could be added. He knew he needed to find room for several hundred papers every week, so something had to be done about it. He thought for a long time and then decided to send his superior a message explaining what had happened and to ask him for permission to go through the old files and take out and destroy all the letters which were no longer of any use. The next day he received an answer from his superior. It read as follows: "All right, you have permission to do as you suggest, but you must make copies of all letters and papers before destroying them."

Lesson 350

2) Ice-cream One summer afternoon Mrs Miller went to a big, local cinema. At the half-time interval of the long film one could buy ice-cream. In general, she rarely bought anything in the cinema, but this time feeling hot she said to herself she needed an ice-cream. Many spectators queued in front of the girl who was selling the ice-cream, so Mrs Miller waited for her turn. In front of her, there was a small boy who, when it was his turn, offered the girl ten cents. But the ice-cream cost twenty cents, so the girl said, "I'd like to ask for another ten cent coin." The little boy put the coin in his pocket, put his hand in another pocket, and pulled out another ten cents and handed that to the girl. Mrs Miller was so amused that she paid the other ten cents herself.

But Miguel just laughed and suggested to meet in the park at five o'clock the next morning to fight duel. But Jose thought it best to go to a quiet place in the countryside where the police could neither see nor hear them. Miguel agreed and the next morning they went to the train station together. Once there, Jose bought a return ticket, but Miguel just a one-way ticket. Jose noticing it said, "Hoho! Don’t you expect to come back?" "I never buy a return ticket," Miguel replied calmly, "I always use my opponent's other half."
