Do You Know My Work？
[ 2006-10-26 08:00 ]
One night a hotel caught fire，and the people who were staying in it ran out
in their night clothes.
Two men stood outside and looked at the
fire.
"Before I came out," said one," I ran into some of the rooms and found
a lot of money. People don't think of money when they're afraid. When anyone
leaves paper money in a fire，the fire burn sit. So I took all the bills that I
could find. No one will be poorer because I took them."
"You don't know
my work," said the other.
"What is your work？"
"I'm a
policeman."
"Oh！" cried the first man. He thought quickly and said, "and
do you know my work?"
"No," said the policeman.
"I'm a writer. I'm always
telling stories about things that never happened."
