One thing missing
Old Mrs Fang lived alone in a small cottage in the country. She preferred a very simple life with little contact with the outside world. The nearest town was many miles away.
One day a car stopped outside her cottage and a young man got out. He took a large cardboard box out of the back of the car and carried it to her front door. Then he put the box down on the path and rang the bell.
As soon as Mrs Fang opened the door, the young man started talking.
“Good morning, madam. What a lovely cottage you have. You must spend a lot of time keeping it clean.”
“Well, yes, I do. But …”
The man continued his sales talk without paying any attention to what she said. “You may say that you have plenty of time, but there is more to life than sweeping the floor.”
The young man opened the cardboard box and took out a vacuum cleaner.
“With this machine, you can clean your house in a fraction of time.” he said.
“Well, yes, but …” Mrs Fang began, but the young man interrupted her again.
“I will demonstrate (演示),” he said, and before she c
ould stop him he walked into the house.
He put the cardboard box on the floor and took out a huge bag. He opened the bag and poured a horrible mixture of dirt all over the floor.
“Please, you mustn’t …” Mrs Fang protested, but the young man didn’t listen.
“Don’t worry,” he said, as he stamped the dirt into the carpet with his foot and then spread it all over the carpet. “This machine can clean it away in seconds. This is the finest vacuum cleaner in the world.”
He smiled at Mrs Fang, “if you’ll just show me where the outlet is,” he said. “I’ll plug it in and begin the demonstration.”
“But I’ve been trying to tell you,” the old 
lady said. “There isn’t any electricity in this cottage!”
