The mean man finally decided to give a dinner party. Explaining to a friend how to find his apartment, he said, “Come up to 5F, find the middle door and ring the doorbell with your elbow. When the door open, push with your foot.”
“Why use my elbow and foot?”
“You have gifts in your hands. Well, God,” the man replied, “Youre not coming empty-handed, are you?”
一個吝啬鬼终于决定要请一次客了。他在向一个朋友解释怎么找到他家:“你上到五楼,找中间那个门,然后用你的胳膊肘按门铃。门开了之后,再用你的脚把门推开。”
“为什么要用我的肘和脚呢?”
“你的双手得拿礼物啊。天哪,你总不会空着手来吧?”吝啬鬼回答。
