    Mr. Ones and Mr. Brown worked in the same office. One day Mr. Jones said to Mr. Brown, “we are going to have a small party at our house next Wednesday evening. Would you and your wife like to join us?”

    Mr. Brown said, “Thank you very much. We are free that evening, I think. But I will telephone my wife and ask her. Maybe she will go somewhere else that evening.” So Mr. Brown went to the other room and telephoned. When he came back, he looked very sorry. “What is the matter?” Asked Mr. Jones. “Did you speak to your wife?”

    “No,” Answered Mr. Brown, “She wasn't there. My little son answered the telephone. I said to him “Is your mother there, David?” And he answered, “No, she's not in the house.”“ Where is she then?” I asked. “She is somewhere outside.” “What is she doing?” “She is looking for me.”
