Mr. and Mrs. Williams got married when he was twenty-three, and she was twenty. Twenty-five years later, they had a big party, and a photographer came and took some photographs of them.

Then the photographer gave Mrs. Williams a card and said, "They'll be ready next Wednesday. You can get them from studio¹."

"No," Mrs. Williams said, "please send them to us.                                    

 The photographs arrived a week later, but Mrs. Williams was not happy when she saw them. She got into her car and drove² to the photographer's studio. She went inside and said angrily, "You took some photographs of me and my husband last week, but I' m not going to pay for them."

"Oh, why not?" the photographer asked.

"Because my husband looks like a monkey," Mrs. Williams said.

"Well," the photographer answered, "that isn't our fault. Why didn’t you think of that before you married him?"
