The Clever Woman

 His mother is playing the guitar. His wife is playing the piano. His two younger children are fighting. His older children are arguing about the television. And the pots and pans are bubbling on the cooker. But Mr Murphy doesn't mind. Now his house seems so quiet. (P.24 L.3~6)

  I read The Clever Woman, a book in the Helbling Readers series. The main character a man, Mr Murphy. He is tired because of his job, so he want to relax at his home. But his mother is playing the guitar and his wife is playing the piano. Also, his children are arguing. He can't relax with all the noise. In order to solve this problem, he asks the clever woman to help him. She tells him some ways to improve the situation, but it doesn't seem to be good idea. He does what she said,  but his house doesn't become quiet. On the contrary, his house is noisier. He doesn't know what to do, so he goes to see the clever woman again. She tells him a way and he tries the way. Finally, he can relax at his home. The idea of the clever woman is nice. I thought she is really clever. What does she say to him?
