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 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：

BILL One dining table                              June 10，2013 Cost of wood                                   $ 17.00 Paint（油漆）                                  $ 1.50 Work，8 hours（1 an hour)                        $ 8.00 Total（总计）                                  $ 36.50

When I was looking at the bill，Henry said，"it’s been a fine day，hasn’t it? Quite sunny.”
"Yes,” I said. "I’m glad it is only the 10th of June.”
"Me too” , said Henry. "If you wait, it'll be a bit hotter by the end of the month.”
"Yes. Hotter and more expensive. Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30^th, won't they，Henry?”
Henry looked hard at me for half a minute. There was a little embarrassed smile in his two blue eyes. It seemed that he had done wrong. I gave his bill back to him.
"If it isn't too much trouble, Henry, ” I said，"Please add it up again. You can forget the date.”
I paid him $26. 50 and he ran away in a hurry.
