"What is it?" she want to know.



"I've got a package for mrs.Smith," the mailman said.



"Is it registered ?" the woman asked.



"Yes," the mailman said.



"Is it a big package or a small package?" the woman want to know next.



"It is quite a small package," the mailman told her.



"I see."



The woman thought for a minute, then she said,"Who is it from?"

Now the woman was very interesting. "From Jones ang Jones, eh?" she said "That is a very expensive shop. What is in it?"



"Madam," the mailman said, becoming quite angry with the woman ,"I don't now. Why don't you come down and take the package from me. Then you can open it and find out."



"Oh,I can't do that," the woman said.



"Why not?"the mailman asked.



"Because I'm not Mrs. Smith,"she said."You've come to the wrong house. Mrs. Smih lives next door."
