Mr．Green went to Germany，because he had some work there．He came back last Monday，and his young wife met him at the airport．They walked to their car and passed a tall，pretty air hostess¹．Mr．Green said to her，“Goodbye，Miss Harris，” and the air hostess smiled and said“Goodbye” too．

Mrs．Green stopped and looked at the air hostess．Then she said to her husband，“How did you know her name？”

“That was easy，”answered Mr．Green．“The names of the captain and all the crew² were on a piece of paper in front of our sests．”

“What was the name of the captain？”Mrs．Green asked with a smile．

Mr．Green laughed and answered，“I don't remember any of the other names．”

格林去了德国，因为他在那里有些工作要做。他上星期一回国，他年轻的妻子到机场去接他。他们向他们的汽车走去，遇见了一位高挑、漂亮的空中小姐。格林先生对她说：“再见，哈里斯小姐。”那位空中小姐莞尔一笑，也说了声“再见”。

格林夫人停下来，看看那位空中小姐，然后她问她丈夫：“你怎么知道她的名字？”

“这很容易，”格林先生回答。“机长和机组全体人员的名单都写在我们座位前的一张纸上。”

“那机长叫什么名字？”格林夫人笑着问。

格林先生笑着答道：“我不记得其他任何人的名字。”
