Mr. Brown is a doctor. He often comes back home late in the evening, because it is far away from his home to the hospital.
He is always busy with his work, so he often forgets his wife's birthdays. But last Friday afternoon, on his way home, he suddenly remembered it was his wife's fiftieth birthday. He went to the shop and bought a necklace (项链) for his wife.
When he got home, Mr. Brown gave the present to his wife, "Happy Birthday!" But to his Surprise (令他惊讶的是), his wife laughed and laughed and when she stopped laughing, she said, "My birthday was yesterday. But thank you all the same because better late than never.
