Chapter 12
The Quiz.
Sneek opened the phone directory and took a name at random. It happened
to be Britt Andersson, 6 Park Street, Johanneshov. Sneek's brother "The
Sack" was home. Sneek started:
| | | Lady: | -Andersson.
| |
| Sneek: | -Good afternoon. We are calling from the Radio Melody, the quiz.
| |
| Lady: | -Oh, I see.
| |
| Sneek: | -We are having a quiz on the radio just now. We would like to ask you
if we may call you again in a couple of minutes and ask some simple
questions about music.
| |
| Lady: | -But I'm no good at that.
| |
| Sneek: | -You can win money. Twenty-five for the first question, then
fifty for the next and up to a hundred.
| |
| Lady: | -Well, I need some money, but I'm not good at this.
| |
| Sneek: | -Well, we give you the first question for free. We'll play The Beatles
"Yellow submarine" and we ask you who played and you just say the
Beatles. Then you have won twenty-five only for that question.
| |
| Lady: | -Really? Is it that simple?
| |
| Sneek: | -Yes, it is as simple as that. And the next questions are as simple also.
We have told you the first answer already. We do that often here at
the radio, but people don't know of course.
| |
| Lady: | -Well, I still don't know. I don't want my name to be mentioned in
the air.
| |
| Sneek: | -You will be absolutely anonymous. We don't even know your name.
We chose your phone number by chance.
| |
| Lady: | -Well, OK, if I may stay anonymous and if I get the first question
for free, I'm in on it.
| |
| Sneek: | -Good. We call you after couple of minutes. Don't forget that the
first answer is The Beatles. The Beatles.
| |
| Lady: | -OK! Thank you very much.
| |
| After couple of minutes "The Sack" calls the same lady: |
| |
| Lady: | -Andersson.
| |
| Sneek: | -Hello! Hello! We are calling from "We who don´t know".
| |
| Lady: | -We who don´t know???
| |
| Sneek: | -Yes, that's right. You are the first chosen lucky one for this quiz.
The first question is here. Who is singing this very famous melody?
| |
| Sneek had a gramophone next to the phone and plays 5 seconds of
"Waterloo" with "ABBA". |
| |
| Lady: | It's....eh.....eh....The Beatles.
| |
| Sneek: | -Sorry! Sorry! It wasn't The Beatles. You should have answered "ABBA".
Unfortunately, now you have to send us the money to the Radio Melody,
we'll send you the pay-in form of 25 Kroner.
| |
| Lady: | -Could I loose money also!?
| |
| Sneek: | -Just twenty-five. Well, I'm sorry Mrs. Anna Andersson,
6 Parker Street, in Johanneshov.
| |
| Lady: | -But I was promised to remain anonymous!!
| |
| Sneek: | -Anonymous? No one is anonymous in our show. Time is up, we'll call
our next competitor. Thank you so much, Mrs Andersson and good bye!
| |
| Lady: | -Good bye.
