The meeting lasted three hours. Mr. Jackson looked at the clock on the wall. It was a quarter to eight.
"The last bus started fifteen minutes ago," thought the man, "It means I'll have to stay in a hotel tonight."
Mr. Jackson always drove home after work. He lived outside the city. There was something wrong
with his car these days, so he had to take a bus to his office. That afternoon, he had to discuss something
important with others, so he couldn't catch the bus. At last the meeting was over. It began to snow after he
came out of the warm office. He wanted some warm food and soup first. Most restaurants were full of
people and he went into a small one. The waiter came up quickly and showed the menu to him.
"Some hot soup, please." said Mr. Jackson.
About twenty minutes later, the young man brought the soup to him. When Mr. Jackson was drinking,
he found something in it. "Come here, boy," he called out, "Look! There's a gray hair in my soup!" " It's
very strange, sir," said the waiter. " It's usually a fly, I remember."
