Lesson19 Sold out 票已售完

'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.
'Could I have those two tickets please ?' I asked.
'Certainly, 'the girl said, 'but they are for next Wednesday's performance.
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.

From Susan's View:

Last Saturday, My boyfriend took me to the theatre. We were late because of a traffic jam. We was always thinking that the performance might begun at any moment or had begun on the way from bus stop to the theatre. We reached the ticket-office in a hurry and asked for two tickets but we were sorry to hear that the tickets had been sold out. At the moment, a man hurried to the ticket-office to return two tickets. My boyfriend got excited and ran back to the office and asked for those two tickets. But the girl in the office told him that those two tickets were for next Wednesday performance. What a pity it was! But we bought them as well.

From The girl's View:

It was five minutes before the performance begun. The tickets had already been sold out hours ago but there were still many people that came and asked for tickets. At the moment, a young man with a young lady came and asked for two tickets but failed. Then an old man came and returned two tickets of next Wednesday's performance. The young bought those two tickets immediately. How popular the performance was in our city!
