[英语原文]
Expensive Price
Dentist: Im sorry, madam, but Ill have to charge you twenty-five dollars for pulling your sons tooth.
Mother: Twenty-five dollars! But I thought you only charged five dollars for an extraction.
Dentist: I usually do. But your son yelled so loud, he scared four other patients out of the office.
[汉语翻译]
昂貴的代价
医生:对不起,夫人,为给您的儿子拔牙,我得收二十五美元。
母亲:二十五美元!可是我知道您拔一颗牙只要五美元呀?
医生:是的。但是您儿子这么大声地叫唤,他都吓跑四位病人了。

医生要求母亲为孩子支付五倍的拔牙费用,妈妈不知缘由,原来是孩子拔牙叫声太大吓跑了另外四个病人,让医生损失了拔四颗牙的收入。
