Read the story and answer the questions that follow it. Retell the story.

After breakfast I sent children to school and then went to market. It was still early when I returned home. The children were studying at school, my husband was working at his office and the house was quiet. So I decided to do some washing. In a short time I was busy putting the towels into the water. My hands were all covered with suds. At exactly that moment the telephone rang. I picked up the receiver between two wet fingers.

It was my old friend Ann. It took me ten minutes to explain to her that I was washing and couldn’t speak to her. I asked her to ring up later. At last I hung up the receiver. What a mess! There was soap on the telephone and on the door-knobs. I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the doorbell rang. It was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter.
