Mr.Knott[not] 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[what]." 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.
Both Mr.Watt and Mr.Knott put their telephones down angrily and thought, "What a rude, foolish
man!"
