Question：When will the writer see the play?

Sold Out

                                 '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.

                                  I went back to the ticket office at once.

                                  'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.

                                  'Certainly,' the girl said,

                                  'but they're for next Wednesday's performance.

                                   Do you still want them?'

                                  'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
