Passage
How Old Is He?
《Tapescript 》
A man got into a train and found himself sitting:, opposite a woman who seemed to be about thirty-five years old. Soon they began talking to each oth- er, and the man said to her, 'Do you have a family?'
'Yes, I have one son,' the woman answered.
'Oh, really?' said the man, 'Does:he smoke?'
'No,:he's never touched a cigarette.' the woman replied.
'That's good, ' the man continued. 'I don't smoke either. Tobacco is very bad to one's health. And does your son drink wine?
'Oh, no, ' the woman answered at once. 'He's never drunk a drop of it. '
'Then I congratulate you, ma'am, 'the man said. 'And does he ever come home late at night?'
' No, never, ' his neighbour answered. ' He goes to bed immediately after dinner every night.' 'Well,' the man said, 'he's a wise young man. How old is he?'
'He's six months old today. But he'll grow upto be a gentleman,' the woman replied proudly.
