一個雜貨商、一個銀行家和一個政客在森林里迷了路。最后,他們來到一家農舍,詢問是否能在此住宿。
“Sure,”the farmer said, “but I've got room for only two of you in the house. The other will have to sleep in the barn with the animals, and the smell is very bad out there.”
“沒問題,”農戶說,“可是我的房子里只能安排得下兩個人,另外一個得到牲口棚跟牲口睡在一起,那里的氣味很難聞。”
"I'll sleep in the barn,” the banker volunteered.
“我去牲口棚睡。”銀行家自告奮勇。
Half an hour later a knock was heard on the farmer's houses door, and there stood the banker, gasping," I can't take the smell.”
半個小時以后,他們聽到有人敲門,銀行家站在門口,喘著粗氣:“那種氣味我真的受不了。”
"All right,” said the grocer. "I' 11 sleep in the barn. "And off he went.
“好吧,”雜貨商說:“我去牲口棚睡,”轉身他就走了。
In a while there was another knock on the door. "I've put up with some rank odors from spoiled food,” the grocer complained," but that barn tops them all.”
不久,又響起了敲門的聲音。“就連變質的食物惡臭我都能忍受,”他說,“但是,牲口棚的氣味r以十么都難聞。”
"You two sissies,” said the politician" I'11 sleep in the barn.”
“你們兩個真的沒用,”政客說,“我去那兒睡。”
Thirty minutes later came another knock. When they opened the door There stood all the animals from the barn.
半個小時以后,又響起了敲門聲。他們打開門,看到牲口棚的所有牲口都站在門口。
