Lesson 92 Asking for trouble 自找麻烦
It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell， but she was fast asleep， so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden， put it against the wall， and began climbing towards the bedroom window. I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said， 'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.' I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering in the way I did， but I said， 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
'So do I，' answered the policeman in the same tone. 'Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working， but would you mind coming with me to the station？'
'Well， I'd prefer to stay here，' I said. 'You see. I've forgotten my key.'
'Your what？' he called.
'My key，' I shouted.
Fortunately， the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
