Billy was four years old, and he was a very bad boy. Everyday after lunch his mother took him to his bedroom and put him on his bed to rest for an hour, but Billy never slept and usually he made a lot of noise and got off his bed every few minutes. One afternoon, Billy’s mother put him on his bed and
then went to her bedroom to do some sewing. After ten minutes, she heard a noise so she went to Billy’s room. He was not there, but his trousers were lying on his bed.
She looked in the other rooms upstairs, but he was not there either, so she went to the top of the stairs and shouted down angrily, ‘Are you running about down there without
your trousers?’
‘No, madam,’ answered a man’s voice. ‘I have brought your vegetables — and I am wearing my trousers.’
