John lived in Mexico. One day in April he said to his wife, “I’m going to fly to Chicago next week because I’ve got some work there.” “Where are you going to stay there?” his wife asked. “I don’t know yet,” John answered. “Please send me your name and address from there in a telegram,” his wife said. “All right,” John answered.
He flew to Chicago on April 22 and found a good hotel in the center of the city. He put his luggage in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the name and address of his hotel in it. In the evening he didn’t have any work, so he went to a theater to relax himself. He came out at half past ten. He was going back to his hotel and had a nice dinner. He found a taxi and the driver asked, “Where do you want to go?” But John didn’t remember the name and address of his hotel. “Which hotel is my luggage in?” he said, “And where should I go tonight?” So John took the taxi to a post office. There he sent his wife another telegram, and in it he wrote, “Please send me the address and name of the hotel which I ordered because I forgot them.”
