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 man 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 them?'     'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
