A Day Off Request | 请假一日

English Original

Smith went to see his supervisor 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, moving and hauling stuff."

"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!"
