空欢喜一场

Not long ago I was invited out to dinner by a girl called Alley.I had met Alley once,and she was very very beautiful.I was flattered."She likes me,"I thought .But I was in for a disappointment."I'm so sorry we asked you at such short notice,"she said when I arrived,"but we suddenly realized there were going to be thirteen people at the table,so we just had to find somebody else.Don't reproach me.I was not on purpose.It was too late to inform you."
