Mr Jones was very angry with his wife, and she was
very angry with her husband. For several days they did not speak to each other
at all.
One evening Mr Jones was very tired when he came back from work, so he
went to bed soon after dinner. Of course, he did not say anything to Mrs Jones
before he went upstairs. Mrs Jones washed the dinner things and then did some
sewing.
When
she went up to bed much later than her husband, she found a piece of paper on
the small table near her bed. On it were the words, ‘ Mother, wake me up at
7 a.m – Father ‘
When Mr Jones woke up the next
morning, it was nearly 8 a.m and on the small table near his bed he saw another
piece of paper. He took it and read these words ‘ Father, wake up, it is 7 a.m –
Mother ‘.
