Mr Will Knott  was a teacher. He taught in a big school in London. He lived a long way from the school, so he was usually quite tired when he got home. At nine o'clock one evening when he was in bed, the telephone bell rang in the hall of his small house, so he went downstairs, picked up the telephone and said, “Hello Who's speaking, please?”

　　“Watt ,” a man answered.

　　“What's your name, please?” said Mr Knott.

　　“Watt's my name, ”was the answer.
