Mike was in trouble these days. He drove a car for Mr Black, a rich businessman. But he often drank too much and once he almost fell into the river when he drove along the bridge. Mr Black became angry and wanted to fire (解雇) him. Mike had a big family, so he was afraid of losing his job. He said he would stop drinking at once. But things were not like Mr Black looked forward to.

On a Monday morning, Mike came into the office, with two badly burned ears. “What happened to your ears?” asked Mr Black.

“Well,” said Mike, “last night while I was watching a football match on TV in the bedroom, I was drinking because I was free on Sunday. At that time, my wife was ironing (熨烫) clothes. She had put the iron near the telephone before she went to cook supper. My favourite team lost the game and I felt sorry for it. As soon as I went into the sitting room, the phone rang and I answered it, but I picked up the iron.”

“Terrible, but what happened to your left ear?”

“When I put the iron down on the table, the telephone rang again.”
