I was concentrating on my work when my friend called me saying he was coming to visit me. After
explaining where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat, which helps
preventing the floor from being dirty. Since I knew it would be quite late before I could get back, I suggested
that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was kept in the refrigerator(冰箱).
Two hours later my friend phoned me from the house. At the moment, he said he was listening to some
of my records after having had a nice meal. He had found the pan and meat in the refrigerator. Now, he was
drinking a cup of tea and hoped that I would join him soon. When I asked him if he had any difficulty finding
the house, he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat,
but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the
window. I listened to all this in great surprise. There is no apple tree outside my window, but there is one by
the living room window of my next-door neighbor's house!
