"My friend, I say I had some trouble." A man said to
his friend, " yesterday I had words with my wife. After that she punched the
door and rushed out angrily with the word that she would live with her mother.
Please help me.
Is this a promise or a threat?"
"Do you think there are differences between the two?" his friend
asked.
"Yes, quite a lot. If it is a promise, that means that my wife is sure to
be with her mother, and if a threat, that my mother-in-law will move and
live with us."
