Wrong number

By Ben WoottersPublished 3 years ago • 3 min read

It was Li-Chang Wu on the phone. She asked him to go to the "Lee Stage" to see the 5:30 movie. His spirits lifted and he shaved with agility

Shave, comb your hair, change your clothes. He whistled "Brave Chinese" as he changed his clothes. After changing my clothes, I stood in front of the closet and looked at myself in the mirror. I felt the need to buy a famous sweatshirt. He loves her and she loves him. Once you find a job, you can register at the marriage registry. He has just come back from America, and though he has got his degree, he still has to rely on luck to find a job. If you're lucky, you'll find it soon; With no luck, it may be a while. He has sent out seven or eight letters of reply, which should be reduced these days. Because of this, he stayed at home these days waiting for the agency's staff to call. He didn't have to go out on the street. However, Lie-Chang called to ask him to go to the cinema, and he had to go. It was four fifty now, and we had to get to Leigh Stage as soon as possible. If you are late, Liesl will be angry. So he strode to open the gate, pull the iron gate, walk outside, turn around, close the gate, close the iron gate, take the elevator, go down the stairs, out of the building, and walk to the bus stop with a light heart. Just as we got to the bus stop, a bus came speeding up.

It was Li-Chang Wu on the phone. She asked him to go to the "Lee Stage" to see the 5:30 movie. His spirits lifted at once, and he shaved, combed his hair, and changed his clothes with swift movements. He whistled "Brave Chinese" as he changed his clothes. After changing my clothes, I stood in front of the closet and looked at myself in the mirror. I felt the need to buy a famous sweatshirt. He's Alice.

She loved him, too. Once you find a job, you can register at the marriage registry. He has just come back from America, and though he has got his degree, he still has to rely on luck to find a job. If you're lucky, you'll find it soon; Bad luck, maybe even

It's going to take a while. He has sent off seven or eight requited letters, which should be answered in a few days. Because of this, he stayed at home these days waiting for the agency's staff to call. He didn't have to go out on the street. However, Lie-Chang called to ask him to go to the cinema, and he had to go. It was four fifty now, and we had to get to Leigh Stage as soon as possible. If you are late, Liesl will be angry. So, strode to open the door...

The telephone rang again.

Thinking it was an employee from some agency, she turned around and walked quickly to answer.

A woman's voice came on the receiver:

"Uncle, please."

"Who?

"Uncle.

"There is no such person."

"Is Aunt Aunt here?"

"The number you want to call is..."

"One... Ninety-seven five..."

"You want to call Kowloon?"

"Yes."

"Wrong number! This is Hong Kong Island!"

Throwing the receiver angrily on the telephone, he strode to open the iron gate, went outside, turned around, closed the gate, shut the iron gate, took the elevator, went down the stairs, walked out of the building, and walked with a light heart toward the bus stop. Walking less than 50 yards away from the bus stop, I unexpectedly saw a speeding bus hurtling towards the bus stop out of control, knocking down an old woman and a girl and grinding them to pieces.
