Misunderstanding

In a remote part of Wales There is a place called Morrow.

One day, at a London train station, a traveller said to the booking-clerk, “I want a ticket to Morrow please.”

The clerk raised her eyebrow, saying, “if yu want a ticket tomorrow, why you don’t come for it tomorrow?”

“But a want a ticket to Morrow today,” the traveller replied. “I old you, “ the  clerk said, “you can’t have a ticket tomorrow today. You’ll have to come tomorrow for it.”

By this time, was getting more and more annoyad and finally lost his temper and yelled, “Can’t you understand what I mean? I want a ticket to a place called morrow and I want it now!”

Finally understanding what the traveller really wanted, clerk said quite calmly, “why didn’t you say so in the first place? Here’s your ticket.”
