电话的烦恼
I had worked hard all day at the office,and I was looking forward to a relaxing evening at home.
Just as I walked in the door,the telephone began to ring.I dashed to answer the phone and found that the caller was a man trying to sell something.I refused and hung up the phone.
As I went upstairs to see whether the children had finished their homework,the telephone rang again.I answered it and knew my husband wouldn't be home for dinner.
Then I went back downstairs with the children to have dinner.During dinner,the phone rang twice.Without even answering it,I called to my children,"Get ready,we're all going to a movie."
"Great!But why?"
"Is seems that's the only way we can get away from this telephone."
