Mrs. Green's telephone number was 2345, and the number of the cinema in her town was 2346,
so people often made a mistake and called her when they wanted the cinema. One evening the telephone
bell rang and Mrs. Green answered it. A tired man said, " At what time does your last film begin?"
"I'm sorry," said Mrs. Green " But you have the wrong number. This is not the cinema"
" Oh, it began twenty minutes ago?" said the man. "I'm sorry about that, good-bye."
Mrs. Green was very surprised, so she told her husband. He laughed and said, "the man's wife
wanted to go to the cinema but he was feeling tired. So he telephoned the cinema. His wife heard him,
but she didn't hear you. Now they will stay at home this evening. And the husband will be happy."
