(T) The Man who was Hard of hearing (different world views)

STO-213

A man returned home one rainy evening and knocked on the door. His wife was tied up on the stove, so she called down to him, “Hang on. I’ll just be one minute,” However, out hero was getting on in years, and becoming somewhat hard of hearing, didn’t hear his wife’s response. He knocked again. She replied as before, asking him to kindly hold on just a while longer, lest she burn the cooking. Again, the man didn’t hear his wife’s call. Finally, in exasperation he pounded the door. “What wrong with her!” he concluded, “She must be going deaf!”
