貼郵票

Placing Stamps on a Letter

  A lady employed a maid-servant being very stupid.
She asked her to send a letter, saying: "Go posting this letter, Betty, on which the stamp was already placed, I'm afraid the letter will be overweight. If it is, place the other penny stamp on it."

Ten minutes later, Betty returned. The hostess asked her, "Did you post my letter?"

"Yes , I did, Madam."answered Betty.

"I hope you didn't place another stamp on the letter that it would not cover up the address."

"Oh, no, madam, I didn't I placed the second stamp just on the first stamp."said Betty.

一位太太雇了一個愚蠢的女仆.

一次她對女仆說:"貝蒂,把這封信寄掉,信封上已經(jīng)貼了郵票,但我怕信超重.如果真超重,你把另一張一便士的郵票貼上去."

十分鐘后,貝蒂回來了.女主人問她:"你把我的信寄了嗎?"

貝蒂回答說:"寄了,太太."

"我希望你沒有在貼另一張郵票時蓋住了信封上的地址."

"喔!不,太太,我把第二枚郵票貼在第一枚的上面了."貝蒂說.
