cut after work. While Bill was at the barber's one day, the manager (经理) of the office
came in to have his own hair cut. Bill saw him and tried to hide his face, but the manager
came and sat beside him, so he recognized (认出) him. "Hello, Bill," said the manager.
"I see that you are having your hair cut in office time." "Yes, sir, I am," said Bill. "You see,
sir, it grows in office time." "Not all of it," said the manager of the office at once. "Some of it
