Professor Carter visited Mr. and Mrs. Crockett on the other side of town. After a good dinner and a game of cards, he said, “I’m going to walk home now.”

But Mrs. Crockett looked out of the window and said, “It’s raining outside. Please stay here tonight.”She went and prepared the guest room for him. After a few minutes, she came back to the living-room, but the professor was not there.

Mr. and Mrs. Crockett waited for more than 30 minutes, and then they started to go to bed. But then somebody knocked at the back door of the house.

It was the professor. He was very wet. Mr. Crockett and his wife were very happy to see him. They said, “You’re here!”

“Yes,” the professor answered. He smiled and added,”I went home and got my pyjamas.”
