A Phone Call【通電話】
I was tired with preparing for the Joint College Entrance Examination the other evening. And having been alone for several hours,
I was eager to have someone to chat with me about anything but examinations.
So I telephoned my best friend Mary, who was also busy preparing for the joint entrance examination.
On the telephone, I told her that I missed her very much.
And I invited her to have a cup of coffee with me in a coffeehouse near her home.
But to my surprise, she declined and said that she had to devote all her time to her studies. Hearing this,
I could do nothing but hang up after saying “Sorry” to her.
Disappointed and discouraged,
I turned back to my desk and reluctantly buried myself again in my books.
