Why English Teachers Are Important [2]

This reminds me of a trip I made to Aspen many years ago. There was a woman at work who
told me before I left that she would like me to send her a postcard from there, because
she collected postcards. This woman was in her forties at the time and was the original
case of mutton dressed up as lamb.

When I got to Aspen, I found the perfect card for her. It read "Aspen – The
weather is here, wish you were beautiful." After I sent it I felt a bit guilty but it
was too late to do anything about it.

When I got back to Sydney this woman came up to me and said the postcard was one of the
sweetest things anyone had ever done for her. I couldn’t figure it out until I
realised that she had read it as "The weather is here, wish you were,
beautiful."
