[00:14.14]Lesson 95
[00:16.86]A fantasy
[00:18.74]When the Ambassador of Escalopia returned home for lunch,his wife got a shock.
[00:24.92]He looked pale and his clothes were in a frightful state.
[00:29.30]'What has happened?' she asked.'How did your clothes get into such a mess?'
[00:34.10]'A fire extinguisher my dear,'answered the Ambassador drily
[00:38.63]"University students set the Embassy on fire this morning.'
[00:42.89]'Good heavens!' exclaimed his wife. "And where were you at the time?'
[00:47.59]'I was in my office as usual,'answered the Ambassador.
[00:51.48]'The fire broke out in the basement.I went down immediately,of course,
[00:56.51]and that fool,Horst, aimed a fire extinguisher at me.
[01:00.82]He thought I was on fire.I must definitely get that fellow posted.'
[01:06.31]The Ambassador's wife went on asking questions,
[01:09.59]when she suddenly noticed a big hole in her husband's hat
[01:14.03]'And how can you explain that?'she asked.'Oh,that,'said the Ambassador.
[01:19.70]'Someone fired a shot through my office window.Accurate,don't you think?
[01:24.88]Fortunately,I wasn't wearing it at the time.
[01:28.07]If I had been,I would not have been able to get home for lunch.'
 

Why was the ambassador particularly lucky?
