One morning a mailman walked up to a
house. He rang the bell. A moment later a window of the house
opened, and a woman put her head out. "What's it?" she wanted to
know. "I've got a package(包裹) for Mrs Smith," the mailman
said. "Is it registered(挂号的)?" the woman asked.
"Yes,' the mailman said. "Is it a big package or a small
package?" the woman wanted to know next. "It's quite a big
package," the mailman told her. "I see." The woman thought for a
minute, then she said, "Who is it from?' The mailman looked at
the return address on the hack of the package "It's from Jones
and Jones in London," he said. Now the woman was very
interested. "From Jones and Jones, eh?" she said. "That's a very expensive shop.
What's in the package?" "Madam,' the mailman said, becoming
quite angry with the woman, "I don't know. Why don't you come down and take the
package from me, then you can open it and find out?" "Oh, I
can't do that," the woman said. "Why not?" the mailman
said. "Because I'm not Mrs Smith,' she said. "You've come to the
wrong house. Mrs Smith lives next door."
