　　While I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop, I saw a young man, get into the telephone box nearby. After a short while, he came out and looked very worried. As he saw me standing there, he walked up to me in a hurry.

　　“Good morning, sir,”he said,“when was Abraham Lincoln born, do you know?”

　　I felt a little surprised at his words.“Something must be wrong with the young man.”I thought.

　　“Could you tell me just in which year Abraham Lincoln was born?”he repeated politely.

　　Now I could see. he was not joking, so I thought for a minute, and told him that Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809.

　　“Oh, yes! That's it! Thank you!”He turned round and rushed into the telephone box again.

　　A few minutes later, he came out with all smiles. He thanked me again and explained that he wanted to make a telephone to his friend, but he forgot the number.“You helped me to recall（回想）it.”he said,“You see, his number is 180 909, and it can be easily remembered if you know when the great man was born.”
