Why don’t you come in and have a cup of tea? You should relax after your long journey!” But then he arrives and sees Tim’s hat. That is when he realizes that he does not have everything he could possibly want. He does not have a hat! “Hello, Simon! How are you? How was your journey?” “Hello, Tim! Nice hat!
