Question

          Mr. Newton wasn´t a genius, and he wasn´t a fool; he was absent-minded. One day he left work at the usual time, six o´clock. He felt very cold outside, and he didn´t understand …. But of course! He didn´t have his coat – It was in the office. He went back to the office and got his coat. On the way home he went to the club. He usually saw his friends there on Tuesday. That day he didn´t see them. They weren´t there. Then he remembered: It wasn´t Tuesday; It was Wednesday!

         Mr. Newton arrived home at eight o´clock, and his family wasn´t home! He waited, and he worried about them. He didn´t eat. He wasn´t hungry. Mr. Newton called a friend and told him, “ My family isn´t home.” Then he remembered: The children play tennis on Wednesday, and their mother takes them to the park. Today isn´t Tuesday: It´s Wednesday .

         Mr. Newton was´nt worried then; he was hungry. He ate some bread, soup, meat, and potatoes, and he drank some milk. After supper he fell asleep. Later, Mr. Newton heard thieves enter the house. They didn´t make much noise, and they didn´t turn on the lights. Mr. Newton was very afraid, and he didn´t move. He took a chair in hishand. He tood up slowly. He lifted the chair in the air, and then he heard:

         “ Father! What are you doing?”

         Now he remembered . It wasn´t thieves. It was his family!
