Then one of their daughters had another baby, and she telephoned her mother, "Please come and help with your new granddaughter." Mrs Brown went quickly, but Mr Brown stayed at home, because he was nearer his job there. But he said, "I'll come on Friday evening, and I'll stay till Monday morning." On Friday evening, after work, Mr Brown got into a train. He was very happy. "I'm going to see my new grand- daughter now," he said. There were three empty places in the train. There was an old man beside one empty place, and Mr Brown went to him and said nicely. "Are you a grandfather?" "Yes." the man answered, "I have three granddaugh- ters." Mr Brown went to the second empty place. There was a nice woman beside that. Mr Brown said to her. "Are you a grandmother?" The woman answered. "Yes, I have two granddaugh- ters and two grandsons." Mr Brown went to the third empty place. There was a man sitting beside that, and Mr Brown said to him, "And are you a grandfather?" "No, I'm not," the man answered. Mr Brown smiled happily and said.
