Mrs
Harries lives in a small village. Her husband is dead, but she has one son. He
is twenty-one, and his name is Geoff. He worked in the shop in the village and
lived with his mother, but then he got work in a town and went and lived there.
Its name was Greensea. It was quite a long way from his mother’s village, and
she was not happy about this, but Geoff said, ‘There isn’t any good work for me
in the country, Mother, and I can get a lot of money in Greensea and send you
some every week.’
Mrs
Harris was very angry last Sunday. She got in a train and went to her son’s
house in Greensea. Then she said to him, ‘Geoff, why do you never phone me?’
Geoff
laughed. ‘But, Mother,’ he said, you haven’t got a phone.’
‘No,’
she answered, ‘I haven’t, but you’ve got one!’
