Passage 《I’m Sorry, You Have the Wrong Number 》
Mrs Jones’ telephone number was 3463, and the number of the cinema in her town was 3464, so people often made a mistake when they wanted the cinema.
One evening the telephone bell rang and Mrs Jones answered it. A tired man said,

‘I’m sorry,’ said Mrs Jones, ‘but you have the wrong number. This is not the cinema.’
‘Oh, it began twenty minutes ago,’ said the man. ‘I’m sorry about that. Goodbye.’
Mrs Jones was very surprised, so she told her husband. Mrs Jones Laughed and said,
