| [00:37.160] |
Recently,one of Jeremy's closest friends asked him to make a speech at a wedding reception. |
| [00:45.120] |
This is the sort of thing that Jeremy loves. |
| [00:49.080] |
He prepared the speech carefully and went to the wedding with Jenny. |
| [00:55.080] |
he had included a large number of funny stories in the speech and, of course, it was a great success. |
| [01:03.280] |
As soon as he had finished, Jenny told him she wanted to go home. |
| [01:09.880] |
Jeremy was a little disappointed by this but he did as his daughter asked. |
| [01:16.240] |
On the way home, he asked Jenny if she had enjoyed the speech. |
| [01:22.520] |
To his surprise, she said she hadn't. |
| [01:27.240] |
Jeremy asked her why this was so and she told him that she did not like to see so many people laughing at him! |
