One day the small man came home very excited. He hurried into the living-room. His wife was listening to the radio and eating chocolates. “You’ll never guess what happened to me today, dear,” he said. He waited for a few seconds and then added: “I won ten thousand pounds on the lottery!”
“That’s wonderful!” said his wife delightedly. But then she thought for a few seconds and added angrily, “But wait a moment. How could you afford to buy the ticket?”
One morning Mrs. Ferdinand said to her husband:“Roger, there’s a meeting at Mrs. Young’s house at lunch time today, and I want to go to it. I’ll leave you some food for your lunch. Is that all right?” “Oh, yes.” Her husband answered, “That’s quite all right. What are you going to leave for my lunch?”
