Watt and Knott
Will Knott was a teacher. He taught in a big school in London. He lived a longway from the school, so, he was usually quite tired when he got home. At 9:00 one evening,
when he was in bed, the telephone rang in the hall. He went to the hall.picked up the receiver and said: "This is 3335683. Who is speaking, please?
"Watt," a man answered.
"What's your name. please?" said Mr. Knott.
"Watt's my name" was the answer.
"Yes. I am asking you that. What's your name." Mr. Knott said again.
"I told you. Watt's my name,"said the man. "Are you Jack Smith?"
"No. I am Knott."
"Will you give me your name. please?" the man asked.
"Will Knott," answered Mr. Knott.
Both Mr. Watt and Mr. Knott put down their telephones angrily and tought,
"That's a rude and stupid man."
