It had been a bee

One day, When Mr. Smith came home from work, he found his wife very annoyed about something. Mr. Smith always thought that he was more sensible than his wife, so he started to give her a lecture on the importance of always remaining calm.

Finally he said, "It's a waste of your strength to g ed wccited about small things. Train yourself to be patient like me. Now, look at the fly that has just landed on my nose. Am I getting excited or annoyed? Am I swearing or waving my arms around? No, I'm not. I'm perfectly calm.

Just as he dah said this, Mr. Smith started shouting. He jumped up and began to wave his arms around wildly and swear terribly. He counldn't speak for some thime, but at last he was able to tell his wife: The thing on his nose hadn't been a fly. It hasd been a bee.
