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 at the corner by 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 Nov. 1975
Cost of materials (wood) £17.00
Paint and fittings £ 1.50
Work, 8 hours (£1 an hour) £8.00
Total £26.50
I took out my cheque book and my pen. I looked at the bill.
Alf said, “It's been a lovely day, hasn't it? 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 cupboards 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? 1 gave his 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 cheque for £26.50. He was happy to accept it.

The nine-year-old Marc Yu is called Little Mozart. He is too short to reach the pedals (踏板) of a piano. Marc, from California, USA, says, “The problem is that my legs aren’t straight enough, so I have to get very close to the piano.”
Marc’s 34-year-old mother played Beethoven’s CDs to him when she was pregnant . Marc started playing the piano at a birthday party when he was only two. While the other children were singing “twinkle, twinkle, little star …”, he walked over to the piano and started playing the song. It astonished his mother, because that was the first time he’d been near a piano. Marc gave his first public performance, playing Beethoven, at six, the same age as Mozart. After that concert, Marc won a £225,000 university scholarship.
At present he practices the piano eight hours a day. He also studies part-time at the famous Colbum Music School in Los Angeles, and flies once a month to China for lessons at Shanghai Music School. Marc says, “I like playing the piano because it makes me have a lot of different feelings —sadness, excitement, happiness and so on. I like playing difficult pieces, especially those that my teacher says I shouldn’t.”
