Mr. Smith worked in an office. He had neither a wife nor children. And he lived in an old house alone. He liked nothing but drinking. He almost spent all of his money on drinks. Sometimes he was hungry; he had to borrow some money from his work-mates to buy a little food.
One evening he met a friend of his in the street. The man asked him to have dinner in a restaurant. He was happy and drank a lot. When they left there at midnight, he could hardly stand. The man had to stop a taxi and asked the driver to take him home. Soon they arrived at the door of his house. With the help of the driver, he got out. “Thank you, sir.” said Mr. Smith. “Now I can open the door myself.” The taxi drove away, but he couldn’t put the key into the keyhole. He was trying to do it while a policeman came. “Can I help put the key into the keyhole, sir?” asked the policeman.
“Thank you, sir.” said Mr. Smith. “The house is circling now. If you can stop it moving, I can open the door myself.”
