   A UPL driver rang the doorbell. "I'm here to pick up your package," he said. "What package?" she asked. "I don't have a package." "A package for Target," he said. "Oh," she said. "The package for Target. Someone from UPL came by last week. He picked up the package. He took it with him. It's gone. Target probably has it by now." He said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know that." The next morning, her phone rang. It was a recording 1 from UPL. "UPL will pick up your package today," the recording said. She called up UPL. "I don't have a package anymore," she told the representative 2. "UPL already picked it up." The representative apologized. "I will cancel today's pickup," he said. She sighed. When I had the package, they didn't come, she thought. When I no longer have the package, they come. That afternoon, her doorbell rang. It was UPL.
