Our village carpenter（木匠），John Hill，came one day and made a dining table for my wife．He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows．When I got home that evening，John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill（账单）for the job．

My wife said to me quietly，“That's his sixth cup of tea today．” But she said in a loud voice，“It's a beautiful table，dear，isn't it?”

“I'll decide about when I see the bill．” I said．

John laughed and gave me his bill for the work．I read：

One dining table 10 November，2007

Cost of wood（木头费用） $17.00

Paint（油漆） $1.50

Work，8 hour（ $1.00 an hour） $ 8.00

Total（合计） $ 36.50

When I was looking at the bill，John said，“It's been a fine day，hasn't it? Quite sunny．”

“Yes，” I said．“I'm glad it's only the 10th of November．”

“Me too．” Said John．“You wait—it'll be a lot colder by the end of the month．”

“Yes．Colder—and more expensive! Dining tables will be $20 more expensive on November 30th，won't they，John?”

John looked hard at me for half a minute．Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him．

“If it isn't too much trouble，John，” I said，“please add it up again．You can forget the date．”
