Our village carpenter,Alf Winn,came one day and made a kitchen cupboard for my wife.He made it just the right size to fill the useless space between the cooker and the door.When I got home that evening,Alf was drinking a cup of tea and making out his bill for the job.
My wife said to me,quietly,"That's his ninth cup of tea today." But she said loudly,"It's a beautiful cupboard,dear,isn't it?"
"I'll decide about that when I see the bill." I said.
Alf laughed and gave me his account for the work.I read.
One kitchen cupboard 10 November 1975
Cost of materials (wood) $17.00
Paint and fittings 1.50
Work,8 hours ($ 1 an hour) 8.00
Total &36.50
I took out my check book and my pen.I looked at the bill.
Alf said,"It's been a lovely day,hasn't?Quite sunny."
"Yes," I said,"I'm glad it's only the 10th of November."
"Me too." Said Alf,"You wait it'll be a lot colder by the end of the month."
"Yes.Colder-and dearer!Kitchen cupboard will be $20 dearer on November 30th,won't they,Alf?"
Alf looked hard at me for half a minute.Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes?I gave him an account back to him.
"If it isn't too much trouble,Alf," I said,"please add it up again.You can forget the date."
I wrote him a check for $ 26.50.He was happy to accept it.
我实在是看得一头雾水.请说一下主要的情节吧.

简单的说,一个木匠做碗柜,然后在算账的时候,把十一月10日的,“10”日也算在价钱里加了进去,男主人开玩笑说,“幸好是10日,如果30日,是不是要再贵20块钱了呢?”,然后又把帐算了一次,木工欣然接受了.
