RING, RIING, RING.

It’s 2 o’clock in the morning. The telephone is ringing.

         Who is calling at this time in the morning? … Perhaps it is Claire... No, it is not Claire. She always goes to her summer house on the weekends. She doesn’t have a telephone there. Stop ringing you stupid telephone!... I’m tired. It’s late.

         It could be Betsy. Please not Betsy! She is taking a course on meditation this week. I bet that she wants to talk about her course… but at 2 o’clock in the morning? … No, it isn’t Betsy. She told me she is sleeping well after her meditation sessions… All right! All right, I’m coming!... Maybe it’s Ricky. He’s having a hard time because of his broken leg. He doesn’t sleep and spends a long time on the phone. I’m not going to answer. I want to sleep. No …but what if Ricky needs help? I’m going to answer.

The telephone stopped ringing. Who was calling me? Was it Claire? Was it Betsy? Or Ricky? … Ring , you stupid telephone. Please ring again!
