Mr Knott was a teacher. He taught in a big school in London. He lived a long way from the school, so
he was usually quite tired when he got home. At nine o'clock one evening when he was in bed, the telephone
bell rang in the hall, so he went downstairs, picked up the telephone and said,
" Hello! Who's speaking, please?"
"Watt" a man answered.
"What's your name, please?" said Mr Knott.
"Watt's my name." was the answer.
"Yes, I asked you that what's your name?" Mr Knott said again.
"I told you. Watt's my name." said the other man, " Are you Jack Smith?"
"No, I'm Knott." Answered Mr Knott.
