Calls From The Police

This is a story from last summer.

I got a voice mail from the police one afternoon. The officer said that my friend was arrested for a crime and mentioned my phone number, so the police needed me to call back.

What?!

My friend was arrested?!

After listening to it, I called back the police immediately. After I called the police, I learnt that the criminal had lied to the police officer, and he gave the false phone number to protect his friend. 


The second story is that my phone rang when I was practising music for an audition. The call was from the police again.

"Are you playing any musical instruments? A resident of your apartment was complaining about it. Could you stop? It is late."

It was already past 10:30 pm at that time. I had not noticed at all until then. Besides, my windows were opened. My apartment is unusual because a lot of musicians live there. There are two violinists, one saxophonist, one pianist and me. So most of residents of my apartment building are relatively tolerant of our playing music, but this time it was too late. 

I told this story to my musician friends and I learned that everyone has also received some complaints, especially piccolists!!
