Lesson 95 A fantasy
When the Ambassador of Escalopia returned home for lunch, his wife got a shock. He looked pale and his clothes were in a frightful state.
“Good heavens!” exclaimed his wife。“And where were you at the time?”
“I was in my office as usual,” answered the Ambassador. “The fire broke out in basement. I went down immediately, of course, and that fool, Horst, aimed a fire extinguisher at me. He thought I was on fire. I must definitely get fellow posted.”
The Ambassador’s wife went on asking questions, when she suddenly noticed a big hole in her husband’s hat.
“And how can you explain that?” she asked.
“Oh, that,” said the Ambassador, “Someone fired a shot through my office window. Accurate, don’t you think? Fortunately, I wasn’t wearing it at the time. If I had been, I would not have been able to get home for lunch.”
