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：

BILL One dining table June 10 , 1995Cost of wood 17.00Paint（油漆）1.50Work，8 hours（1 an hour） 8.00Total（總計）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. “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 30^th , won’t they , Henry?”

Henry looked hard at me for half a minute. There was a little smile in his two blue eyes. I gave his bill back to him.

I paid him 26. 50 and he was happy to get it.

Henry had studied in a university before he came back to his hometown.  He thought he had lots of knowledge and was supercilious(自大的).

At first he was easily given a piece of work in a bank. But he couldn't get on well with his workmates and often made mistakes. And soon he was sent away. Then he found work in a post office, but he still couldn't be competent at (勝任)it and before long he had to leave. After he lost the work, his life got worse and worse and he was of-ten worried about food and clothes. When he hardly asked for some food in the street, a friend of his aunt's felt pity for him and told him to work in his restaurant. Of course he didn't like the work at all but it was much better than being hungry. He had to work there.

One day a young beautiful woman came in the restaurant. She wanted two eggs, some chicken and a glass of milk. Henry thought she wore beautiful clothes but didn't have much knowledge. When he was taking the things to her, he found there was a fly in the milk, but he didn't bring it out. As soon as he left her table, he heard her crying behind.

"What's in my milk, boy?" the woman shouted at him.

"Haven't you seen it's a fly, madam?" asked Henry.

"It's terrible!" the woman said angrily.

"Don't be angry, madam," Henry said quietly. "It's too small. It can't drink much of your milk !"
