Lesson 19 sold out

‘The play may begin at any moment,’ I said.

  ‘It may have begun already,’ Susan answered.

    I hurried to the ticket office, May I have two tickets please? I asked.

   I’m sorry, we’ve sold out , the girl said.

  what a pity! Susan exclaimed.

Just then, a ma hurried to the ticket office.

Can I return these two tickets ? he asked.

Certainly, the girl said.

I went back to the ticket office at once.

Could I have those two tickets please?  I  asked.

Certainly the girl said, but they’re for next Wednesday’s performance . Do you still want then?

I might as well have them, I said sadly.
