Once,
lately
at
night,
an
Englishman
came
out
of
his
room
into
a
passage of the hotel and ask the servant to bring her a glass of water.
The servant did like he was asked. The Englishman returned his room,
and a few
minutes later he came into the passage again and once more
asked the servant a glass of water.
Every a few minutes the Englishman would come out of his room and
repeated his request. After half an hour the astonishing servant decided to
ask
the
man
what
he
was
doing
with
the
water.
"Nothing,"
answered him calmly. "It's simply that the room is on fire.

I
gave
my
housekeeper
an
old
pair
trousers
to
wash
and
went
in
the
study to read.
My
housekeeper
usually
looked
through
my
before
wash
my
clothes, but for some reasons he failed to do so this time.
When I was reading, I suddenly remember that there was a five-pounds
note in the back pocket of the trousers I had told her to wash it.
I dropped my book and rushed into the bathroom, but it is too late. My
housekeeper
said
that
my
trousers
had
been
in
a
washing
machine
for
fifteen minutes already.
