Ways to Report Death
Two brothers， Herbert and James， lived with their mother and a cat named Edgar. James was particularly attached to the cat， and when he had to leave town for several days， he left Herbert meticulous instructions about the pet' s care. At the end of this first day away. James telephoned his brother. "How is Edgar？"
"Edgar is dead." Herbert answered. There was a pause. Then James said， "Herbert， you're insensitive， you know how close I was to Edgar -you should have broken the news to me slowly. When I asked about Edgar tonight， you should have said， 'Edgar's on the roof ， but I have called the fire department to get him down.' And tomorrow when I called， you could have said the firemen were having trouble getting Edgar down， but you were hopeful they would succeed. Then when I called the third time， you could have told me that the fire-men have done their best， but unfortunately Edgar had fallen off the roof and was at the veterinarian's. Then when I called the last time， you could have said that although everything possible had been done for Edgar， he had died. That's the way a sensitive man would have told me about Edgar. And， oh， before I forget，" James added， "how is mother？"
"Oh，" Herbert said， pausing for a moment， "She' s on the roof."
