奖赏
A lady lost her handbag. It was found by an honest little boy and returned to her.
Looking in her purse,
she commented,
When I lost my bag there
was a $$20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $$1 bills.
The boy quickly replied,
purse, she didn't
have any change for a reward.
The Bad Check
One day a middle-aged woman telephoned her doctor.
“Doctor,”
she said,
“I'm having a lot of trouble with my
shoulder. It hurts all the time and I
can't sleep at night.”
“Come in this afternoon.”
said the doctor,
“and I'll have a look at it.”
That
afternoon
the
woman
went
to
the
doctor's
office.
He
gave
her
a
very
thorough
examination, asked a lot of questions, and listened carefully to her answers.
“Well, my dear,”
he said,
“It looks like you have arthritis.”
“Arthritis?”she said.“Oh, no! What am I going to do?”
“Don't worry,”
he answered,
“I'll give you a prescription and the pain will go away
．
”Then the
doctor took out his pen, wrote a prescription, and handed her his bill for fifty dollars. The woman
opened her pocketbook, wrote out a fifty- dollar check, said goodbye, and left.
The doctor mailed the check to his bank, but a week later he was surprised to find that the
check was returned to him, marked
“Insufficient Funds”.
He telephoned the woman immediately.
“I'm very sorry to have to tell you this.”
he began,
“but your check came back this week.”
“Oh, really?”said the woman,“
That's quite a coincidence.”
“What do you mean?”asked the doctor.
“Well,
”said the woman,
“so did my arthritis.”
You're Right
Once Mr Henry went to a
small town with high mountains all around it. It was a quiet and cool
place and some rich people liked to go there for their holidays. A week later, before Mr Henry left
the town, he paid thirty pounds for a parrot. When he came back, he began to teach the bird to
speak. He tried his best, but it learned only one sentence,“You're right.”He was disappointed and
said to the bird angrily
，
“How foolish you are!”
“You're right,”said the parrot.
The next day Mr Henry took the bird to the market and wanted to sell it for eighty pounds.
Before long a fat man came and looked at the parrot carefully. Then
he asked,“How much
is it,
sir?”
Mr
Henry
didn't
hurry
to
answer
and
said,“It's
a
clever
bird,
you
know.
It
can
speak
and
sing.”Then he said to the bird,“
Are you really worth eighty pounds, my dear?
“You're right,”said the parrot.
The
fat
man
liked
it
at
once
and
bought
it.
When
he
took
it
home
he
asked
it
a
lot
of
questions, but it could only say,“You are right.”
