1. A man called Victor answered the phone in the kitchen and had the following conversation: “ Yes, Mother, I have had a hard day. Vivian has been very difficult to live with. She smoked a lot and was often angry over small things. She had me wash the dishes and clean the house. Yes, I know I must be like a man, but it is hard. Well, you know how she is. Well, yes, I remember you warned me. You wanted me to give up marrying her. But now, she has changed my life. I used to be as free as a bird. I remember you told me that she was a special woman who would make my life terrible and you asked me not to marry her. You were very, very right. Hmm…You want to speak with her? All right！”
Victor looked up from the telephone and called to his wife in the living room:
“ Vivian, your mother wants to talk to you！”
2. People make mistakes all the time. Some mistakes can be serious, but others can be funny. Yesterday when I was ordering at a fast-food restaurant, I said “I want two small French fries, please” and the clerk said “Would you like some fries with that?” And then in a convenience store, I bought a bottle of soy sauce. Just when I was ready to pay, the clerk asked “Would you like a straw with that?”
In both cases, I did my best not to laugh out loud, but bystanders all had a good laugh at such funny mistakes.
