　　I gave my housekeeper an old pair of trousers to wash and went into the reading room to read. My housekeeper usually examined my pockets before she washed anything, but for some reason she failed to do so this time. As I was reading I suddenly remembered that there was a ten-pound note in the back pocket of the trousers I had given her to wash. I dropped my book right away and rushed to the bathroom. But it was too late. My housekeeper told me that my trousers had been in the washing machine for ten minutes! I had the machine stopped working at once and pulled my trousers as quickly as I could. I nearly burnt my fingers when I tried to unbutton(解开钮扣) my back pocket. To my great disappointment, I discovered that it had already become a piece of white paper. I stood there, glaring at my housekeeper in silence until she began to cry, begging me to pardon her and not to drive her off.
