Mrs Brown's telephone number was 3464, and the number of the cinema in her town was 5463, so people often made a mistake and telephoned her when they wanted the cinema.

　　One evening the telephone bell rang and Mrs Brown answered it. A tired man said, "At what time does your last film begin?"

　　"I'm sorry," said Mrs Brown, "but you have wrong number. That is not the cinema. "

　　"Oh, it began twenty minutes ago?" said the man. "I'm sorry about that. Goodbye! "

　　Mrs Brown was very surprised. So she told her husband. He laughed and said, "The man's wife wanted to go to the cinema, but he was feeling tired, so he telephoned the cinema. His wife heard him, but she didn't hear you. Now they will stay at home this evening, and the husband will be happy! "
