A penny（一便士）
[ 2007-02-17 08:00 ]
A poor man entered a doctor’s consulting-room. He looked very
unhappy.
“Doctor,” he said, “you must help me. I swallowed a penny about
a month ago.”
“Good heavens, man!” said the doctor. “Why have you waited
so long? Why don’t you come to me on the day you swallowed it?”
“To tell
you the truth, Doctor,” the poor man replied, “I didn’t need the money so badly
then.”
一個窮人走進診所。他滿臉憂愁。
“大夫。”他說道：“您一定得幫幫我啊。大約在一個月前，我把一枚便士給吞進肚子里去了。”
“天哪！伙計。”大夫說道：“你怎么耽擱了這么久呢？你吞下它時怎么不來找我呢？”
窮人答道：“大夫，實話跟您說吧。當時我還并不急著用這錢呢！”
