[00:01.080] | --- Lesson 83 After the elections |
[00:06.840] | --- First listen and then answer the question. |
[00:12.600] | --- Why did Patrick keep on asking the same question? |
[00:19.920] | The former Prime Minister, Mr.Wentworth Lane, was defeated in the recent elections. |
[00:28.520] | He is now retiring from political life and has gone abroad. |
[00:33.920] | My friend, Patrick, has always been a fanatical opponent of Mr. Lane's Radical Progressive Party. |
[00:43.040] | After the elections, Patrick went to the former Prime Minister's house. |
[00:49.400] | When he asked if Mr. Lane lived there, the policeman on duty told him that since his defeat, the ex-Prime Minister had gone abroad. |
[01:00.640] | On the following day, Patrick went to the house again. |
[01:05.680] | The same policeman was just walking slowly past the entrance, when Patrick asked the same question. |
[01:13.960] | Though a little suspicious this time, the policeman gave him the same answer. |
[01:20.520] | The day after, Patrick went to the house once more and asked exactly the same question. |
[01:27.960] | This time, the policeman lost his temper. 'I told you yesterday and the day before yesterday,' he shouted, |
[01:37.480] | 'Mr. Lane was defeated in the elections.^“ |
[01:41.040] | He has retired from political life and gone to live abroad!' |
[01:47.600] | 'I know,' answered Patrick, 'but I love to hear you say it!'^“ |
