There was once a very rich sick lady whose husband had died, and whose children had married and gone to live in foreign countries. When she reached the age of 80 and was too old to look after herself, she went to live in an expensive and comfortable hotel near the sea in the south. This rich old lady had a pair of nasty dogs which she loved dearly. They lived in the hotel with her and went wherever she did. There was a young waiter at the hotel who did everything he could to help the old lady and be nice to her. He even pretended to like her unpleasant dogs and offered to look after them in his free time. He fed them, cleaned and looked after them, took them for daily walks for some years.

The young waiter did not doubt that when the rich widow died she would leave him a lot of money, to pay him for everything that he had done for her dogs. But when she died a few years later he soon discovered that she had left him only two things which she loved most in the world, and she thought he loved too ― her dogs.

Mr. Jones liked to be comfortable, so when he gets into a train he always puts his suitcase on the seat beside him and pretends that it belonged to another passenger who had gone to buy something in the station.

One day he did this when the train was very crowded. Other passengers came and sat in the train in all the other seats except the one which his suitcase was lying on. Then an old gentleman arrived, looked at Mr. Jones’ case and said, “Is this somebody’s seat?” “Yes, “Answered Mr. Jones. “ A friend of mine is travelling with me, he has gone to buy some cigarettes, he will return soon.” “All right,” said the old gentleman. “I’ll sit here until your friend comes back. And then I’ll stand somewhere.” And he sat down after he had put the suitcase on the shelf above him.

Several minutes passed, the whistle blew, and the train began to move. The old gentleman jumped up suddenly and said, “I’m very sorry but your friend seems to have missed the train. We don’t want him to be separated from his suitcase, do we?” Before Mr. Jones was able to do or to say anything to prevent him, he took his suitcase and threw it out of the open window.

Why did Mr. Jones usually put his suitcase near him?

because it was comfortable to lean on

because he was afraid that it might be stolen by another passanger

because he wanted to keep that seat for himself

The clerk: British Airways, good morning. How can I help you?
Mary Jones: Have you got any flights to Sydney next Sunday?
The clerk: One moment, please… Unfortunately, we fly only to Canberra on Sundays. Will this suit you?
Mary Jones: I’ve always wanted to visit Canberra but my husband is going on a business trip to Sydney and he starts working there on Monday.
The clerk: Then I can suggest Saturday. There’re two flights on Saturday: at 6.15 am and at 6.45 pm.
Mary Jones: That’s fine. Could you tell me how much a return ticket costs? We’ll be staying for a fortnight.
The clerk: Would you like economy, business class or first class tickets?
Mary Jones: Economy, please.
The clerk: That would be £540 for the evening flight while the morning flight is £100 cheaper.

The clerk: Certainly. How many tickets do you need?
Mary Jones: Four. Two adults and two children. Have you got any discounts for children?

The clerk: How would you like to pay, Mrs. Jones?
Mary Jones: Can I pay at the check-in desk when I pick up our tickets?
The clerk: Yes, but you will have to confirm this reservation at least two hours before departure time.
Mary Jones: I see.
The clerk: Now you have been booked, Mrs. Jones. The flight leaves at 6.45 in the evening, and your arrival in Sydney will be at 11.25 am, local time. The flight number is BA 476.
Mary Jones: Thank you very much.
