Mrs. Williams lived in a small street in London, and now she had a new
neighbour. Her name was Mrs. Briggs, and she talked a lot about her expensive
furniture, her beautiful carpets and her new kitchen.
‘Do you know,’ she said to Mrs. Williams one day, ‘I’ve got a new
dishwasher. It washes the plates and glasses and knives and forks beautifully.’
‘Oh?’ Mrs. Williams answered. ‘And does it dry them and put them in the
cupboard too?’
Mrs. Briggs was surprised. ‘Well,’ she answered, ‘the things in the machine
are dry after an hour, but it doesn’t put them away, of course.’
‘I’ve had a dishwasher for twelve and a half years,’ Mrs. Williams said.
‘Oh?’ Mrs. Briggs answered. ‘And does yours put the things in the cupboard
when it has washed them?’ She laughed nastily.
‘Yes, he does,’ Mrs. Williams answered. ‘He dries the dishes and puts them
away.’

Տիկին Ուիլյամսն ապրում էր Լոնդոնի մի փոքրիկ փողոցում, և այժմ նա նոր հարևան ուներ։ Նրա անունը միսիս Բրիգս էր, և նա շատ էր խոսում իր թանկարժեք կահույքի, գեղեցիկ գորգի և իր նոր խոհանոցի մասին։
― Գիտե՞ք, ― ասաց նա մի օր միսիս Ուիլյամսին, ― ես նոր աման լվացող մեքենա ունեմ։ Այն գեղեցիկ լվանում է ափսեը, ապակին, դանակներն ու պատառաքաղը»։
― Օ՜։ Միսիս Ուիլյամսը պատասխանեց. ― Իսկ չորացնու՞մ է դրանք և դրե՞ք պահարանի մեջ։
Միսիս Բրիգսը զարմացավ. ― Դե, ― պատասխանեց նա, ― մեքենայի մեջ եղած իրերը մեկ ժամ հետո չորանում են, բայց դա, իհարկե, չի հեռացնում։
― Ես աման լվացող մեքենա ունեմ տասներկու ու կես տարի, ― ասաց միսիս Ուիլյամսը։
― Օ՜։ Միսիս Բրիգսը պատասխանեց. ‘ Իսկ դու իրերը դնում ես պահարանի՞ մեջ, երբ այն լվացել է։ Նա կատաղի ծիծաղեց։
― Այո, նա անում է, ― պատասխանեց միսիս Ուիլյամսը։ ― Նա չորացրեց ամանն ու դրեց։
