PART 2 · LESSON 19 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES
Late and Short Again
The shed on a Tuesday at noon, the phone on the workbench and no truck at the landing: the truck hasn't come at all; it's on its way, stuck at the bridge; three whole hours late already; last week it was only two hours; the teak, I ordered six, only four came; the yard only had four; I've waited a whole month and it's still not complete; next Tuesday, six lengths, I promise: complaining about what is late and little.
