Late sleep

My wife, Bertha left for the market early morning while I was still asleep. I did not wake up on time because I went to bed at 1am for I was studying. I woke up at around 7am. I switched off my radio to get the time, but I realized that it was already too late for me to go for the work. “Are you today absent?” Bertha asked me. “Had it been that you were here I could not be absent myself from the work” I replied. “Have you already taken breakfast?” “No, I understood that I could not manage to prepare delicious food as you do for me” I told her while reading that day’s news paper.
