A lady lost her handbag in the bustle of Christmas shopping. It was found by an honest boy and returned to her.
Looking in her purse, she commented, “Hmmm…thats funny. When I lost my purse there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills.”
The boy quickly replied, “Thats right, lady. The last time I found a ladys purse, she didnt have any change for a reward.”
一位女士圣誕节购物时丢了钱包。一个诚实的小男孩捡到了钱包,还给了她。
她看了看钱包,说:“嗯……真有趣。我丢钱包时,里面有一张20元的钞票。现在却有20张一元的钞票。”
那个男孩马上回答说:“没错,太太。上次我捡到一位女士的钱包,她没有零钱酬谢。”
