Barbara couldn’t take it any more. Her upstairs neighbor was blasting his stereo again. She had asked him twice already to turn the volume down. The first time she asked, he was surprised. He said he didn’t know that she could hear his stereo.
"Yes," she said, "it’s just like your stereo was in my living room. I can hear every note!"
He said he would keep it down. She hoped that he was telling the truth. Of course, he wasn’t. The very next day, he blasted his stereo. She marched upstairs to remind him of his promise. He said the volume was so low that he could barely hear it. She asked him to turn it lower. He said he would try. Barbara could swear that when she reentered her apartment, the music was louder than when she had walked upstairs.
So, this was the third time. She took her baseball bat upstairs with her. She knocked very loudly on his door. When he opened the door, she screamed at him like a crazy person. She told him she would kill him if he didn’t turn the music down and keep it down. His eyes got big.
She went back downstairs. She couldn’t hear a note.

Barbara không thể chịu đựng hơn nữa. Người hàng xóm phía trên lầu đang bật nhạc trở lại. Cô đã nói chuyện với anh ta 2 lần về việc vặn nhỏ tiếng xuống. Lần đầu tiên cô nói chuyện, anh ta đã ngạc nhiên. Anh ta nói anh không biết rằng cô có thể nghe thấy tiếng nhạc anh bật. Vâng, cô trả lời, tiếng nhạc cứ như là đĩa hát của anh đang ở trong phòng khách của tôi ấy. Tôi có thể nghe rõ từng lời. Anh ta nói sẽ vặn nhỏ tiếng xuống. Cô hi vọng anh sẽ làm thật. Dĩ nhiên, anh ta đã không làm. Ngay ngày hôm sau, anh ta lại bật nhạc. Cô tiến tới lầu trên để nhắc nhở về lời hứa của anh ta. Anh ta nói tiếng nhạc rất là nhỏ chỉ đủ để anh nghe thôi. Cô nói với anh ta bật nhỏ tiếng xuống nữa. Anh nói anh sẽ cố gắng. Barbara có thể thề rằng khi cô vừa bước vào căn hộ của mình, tiếng nhạc lại to hơn lúc cô đi lên trên lầu. Vậy là đã là lần thứ 3.Cô mang theo gậy bóng chày lên lầu. Cô gõ ầm ầm vào cửa nhà anh ta. Khi anh mở cửa, cô hét vào mặt anh ta như một người điên.Cô nói rằng cô sẽ giết anh nếu anh không vặn nhỏ đài xuống và giữ cho tiếng nhạc nhỏ thôi. Mắt anh ta mở to. Cô đi xuống nhà. Cô không nghe thấy một tiếng nhạc nào nữa. Cô nói với lòng mình rằng không thể tin là mình đã nói như vậy.

NGƯỜI HÀNG XÓM ỒN ÀO
Barbara không thể chịu đựng được nữa. Người hàng xóm trên lầu lại mở nhạc lớn nữa. Cô đã yêu cầu anh ta vặn nhỏ 2 lần rồi. Lần đầu khi cô yêu cầu, anh ta ngạc nhiên. Anh ta nói rằng anh ta không biết là cô có thể nghe được nhạc của anh ta.
"Có đấy," cô trả lời, giống như là máy nghe nhạc của anh đang ở trong phòng khách của tôi vậy. Tôi có thể nghe rõ từng nốt nhạc!"
Anh ta nói rằng anh ta sẽ vặn nhỏ xuống. Cô hy vọng là anh ta sẽ giữ lời hứa. Nhưng anh ta đã không làm. Nhiều ngày kế tiếp, anh ta vẫn vặn nhạc lớn. Cô bước lên lầu để nhắc anh ta về lời hứa của anh. Cô yêu cầu anh ta vặn nhỏ hơn. Anh ta nói anh ta sẽ cố gắng. Barbara có thể thề rằng khi cô trở về phòng, tiếng nhạc lại lớn hơn khi cô lên lầu.
Vì vậy, đây là lần thứ 3. Cô lên lầu và cầm theo cây gậy bóng chày. Cô gõ cửa thật lớn. Khi anh ta mở cửa, cô hét vào mặt anh ta như người điên. Cô bảo rằng cô sẽ giết anh ta nếu anh ta không vặn nhạc nhỏ xuống. Mắt anh ta mở to.
Cô trở xuống lầu. Cô không còn nghe 1 tiếng nhạc nào nữa.
Cô tự nhủ: "Thật không tin là mình đã nói như vậy."
