unit12 The Movie-goer
Jones enjoyed going to the movies. He especially liked seeing movies made
from stories he had read in books.
He went at least once a week.
He liked to sit in the same seat, but
sometimes when the theater was full this
was not possible.
He had to sit wherever there was an empty
seat.
One evening, he found himself sitting
behind a man who had his arm around a
large dog on the seat beside him.
This was strange, but even stranger was the
way the dog was .
behaving.
It seemed to be watching the movie with interest, but from time to time it would
turn to the man and bark quietly in his ear.
The man would just nod, and the dog would turn back to watch the movie.
Sometimes, when something funny happened in the movie, the dog barked quite loudly and wagged its tail.
Jones sat behind the man and his dog for a long time without saying anything.
He thought it would be rude to speak to them while the movie was still on.
But when it came to the end and the lights in the theater went on, Jones decided to say something.
He tapped the man on the shoulder.
The man turned around.
"Yes?" he said. "What is it?"
"Please don't think me rude," Jones said, "but isn't your dog's behavior rather
strange?"
