The angry woman stood by the station. “ The railway owes me ￡12,”she said to Harry Jenks, the booking clerk (订票员). “My ticket was for May 22nd, and there was no ship from Jersey that night. My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12.”

Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “ Come into the office, madam,” he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .”

The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”

“ Yes,” she answered. “ The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!”

“ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----”

“ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.”

Harry turned to the mother. “ I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “ But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”

“ Er, well-----” The woman looked at the child. “ I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”

“ A four year old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s

(舞会) to which many important people were invited. The Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs(外交部长) came very late. A young lady, who was well acquainted with him, saw him enter the ball-room(舞厅) and asked why he was so late.

“You see,” said the Minister, “there has been a little accident at the King’s palace.”

The curious young lady asked the Minister to tell her what had happened at the King’s palace.

“Oh, nothing important,” answered the Minister. “The ambassador of Brail (巴西), who was to be presented to the King, forgot to take his credentials(外交使节所递的国书) with him and was obliged to go back to his hotel to bring them. If he had left them in Brail we should have had to wait at least six months for them.”

“Is Brail so far from Rome?” asked the lady, who knew very little geography.

“It is in the New World,” said the Minister.

“In the New World?” repeated the lady in great astonishment.

“Yes, in the New World,” answered the Minister in a sarcastic(讽刺的) tone, “which was discovered by Christopher Columbus(哥伦布).”

When the young lady heard this, she rushed into the middle of the ball-room and shouted as loud as she could:

“Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the latest news? A new world has just been discovered by a certain Christopher Columbus.”

a. someone was hurt in the King’s palace b. he had had something to do at home c. he was reluctant to come to the hall d. he was delayed by a little accident
