Having Some Fun
Last week Peter went to the theatre. He had a very good seat and the play was very interesting. However he couldn't enjoy it because a young man and a young woman were sitting behind him, and talking loudly. He got very angry because with their voices he couldn't hear the actors. Peter turned around, and stared at them angrily. But they didn't pay any attention to him. In the end, Peter couldn't bear it any longer. He turned around again and shouted at them angrily, "Hey, I can't hear a word." "It's none of your business," the young man answered. "This is a private conversation."
