William's Wife
English people’s name does not like Chinese people. English many people shared the same name.
As men, such as: James, Dan, Mark, Peter, William, David…
As ladies, such as: Hannah, Amy, Lizz, Donnar, Leah, Lucy…
In our garden centre there were two WILLIAMS, and about the same in years. One works with fish, the other works with sundries(杂物) .
One afternoon, a lady came and asked me:
"Did you know where my husband is?"
"What’s your husband’s name?" I asked.
"WILLIAM!" She told me.
"WIL--LIAM? I don’t think so."
"Yes! No doubt." she said.
I felt surprising. Did English man always change wife? One month ago I had met WILLIAM’s wife, their daughter and two grand sons by the fish pond, but the lady stood at front of me was a new face. Unbelievable! WILLIAM is a good man and he couldn’t to do like that one month change a wife. How I can believe. So I have to make sure.
"No! I don’t think so, you are not WILLIAM’s wife. I knew WILLIAM’s wife, she is much taller than you."
"Yes, I am WILLIAM’s wife, definitely! Should I go home to fetch the marriage certificate for you?"
"Not necessary! Which department did your husband work?" I didn’t understand from her well and wanted check the detail.
"Sundries, outdoor sundries." she said.
"Oh, I see, your husband he is not the fish’s, he is pot’s." I suddenly got the sense.
"What? My husband he is a pot." she misunderstood.
"Not at all, all fine now." I said.
I looked toward the Sundries zone, her husband just bent and took a big pot in hand.
"Over there! Look that big pot, your husband is over there."
It liked as COLUMBUS found a new continent.
I caught a deep breath at the moment!
