The Umbrella
A gentleman staying in a hotel left his umbrella in the hall, but he had put on the handle a card on which was written: "This umbrella belongs to a gentleman who can lift up a hundred pounds. I shall be back in ten minutes."
When he came back, he found, instead of his umbrella, another card on which was written: "This card belongs to a man who can run ten miles an hour. I shall not come back."
雨傘
一位住在旅館的紳士把他的雨傘放在了大廳里,不過他在傘柄上系了一張卡片,上面寫道:“此傘屬于一位能舉百磅的紳士。我將在十分鐘內回來。”
當他回來時,發(fā)現雨傘已經不翼而飛,取而代之的是另一張卡片,上面寫著:“此卡是一位一小時能跑十英里的人留下的,我將永遠不回來。”
