Henry was a carpenter（木匠）of our village.Once I asked him to make a dining table
for my wife.He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows.When
I arrived home that evening,Henry was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for his
work..
My wife said to me,quietly,“That,s his ninth cup of tea today.”But she said loudly,
"It's a beautiful table,dear,isn't it?"
"I won't decide about that until I see that bill.”I said.
Henry laughed and gave me his bill for the work.It said：

Cost of wood 17.00

"Me too,”,said Henry."You wait一it'll be a bit hotter by the end of the month.”
"Yes.Hotter一and more expensive.Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on june 30th,won't they,Henry?”
Henry looked hard at me for half a minute.There was a little smile in his two blue eyes.

文章主要是说，一个木匠写账单时故意写错了，把日期june，10的10算进账单，打算占点小便宜。作者本来要支付26.5元，却成了36.5，后来作者很幽默的提醒木匠，就这样了。
