.S) Carpet-Layer
After
finishing a hard day's work on his own - because his partner didn't show up - a carpet-layer cleaned up
all his tools and prepared to leave.
Patting
his pocket, he realized that his cigarette pack was missing. Looking around the
room, he noticed a small lump in the center of the carpeting he just finished
laying, just about the size of his cigarette pack. Considering for a minute, he
finally decided to lay a board over the lump and hammer it flat. Relieved that
the lump was no longer noticeable, and that he wouldn't have to pull the carpet
up again, he loaded his equipment into his truck, and found his cigarettes laying on the front seat. Just then the lady of the house
ran out to his truck.
"The
carpeting looks great," she assured him, "but I was wondering if you had
seen my parakeet?"
