Smith went to see his boss in the front office.
"Boss," he said, "we're doing some heavy house-cleaning at home tomorrow, and my wife needs me to help with the attic and the garage."
"We're short-handed, Smith," the boss replied. "I can't give you the day off."
"Thanks, boss," said Smith. "I knew I could count on you!"
史密斯去办公室找他的老板。
“老板，”他说，“我们家明天要大扫除，我妻子需要我帮忙整理阁楼和车库。”
“我们人手不够，史密斯，”老板答道，“我不能准你的假。”
“谢谢老板，”史密斯说，“我就知道你会帮我！”
