It "was" nice of you to ask me to make a speech?
Snoopy's received a invitation letter from the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm to ask him to make a speach. Snoopy replies, "It was nice of you to ask me..."
I wonder why he says "It was nice...", but not "It is nice..." What's the difference between "was" and "is" ? I know the invitation letter was sent to Snoopy a few days ago. At that time (a few days ago) the Puppy Farm asked him to make a speech. However, I think the action of asking is still going on (in my grammar of Chinese language), and it's hard for me to understand the difference.

My English is not good. If there is any grammar errors above, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
