This buoyant entry was too much for Mr Wong, "Please, John, not today" he said. "I'm in ng mood for frivolity. In fact I've decided to make a great sacrifice on behalf of the oblidren. I'm going to give up golf right away. I've never realised what a bad influence li han been on my family." To say that Big John was startled was to put it very mildly indeed. It was shattering to hear a near addici ke Wong talking about ditching his beloved etales. It must have something prefly important to drive him to such a decision. John was quiet for moment or two as hè cantemplated the scene. outside the window.
