　　A neighbor of mine, while visiting his mother in Boston, took her to a shoe store to buy a new pair of shoes．While she was trying on different styles(款式), my neighbor took the manager aside．“When she picks out a pair that she likes,” he said, “just tell her that the price is 12 dollars．I’ll pay the regular(正常的)price．I don’t care how much it is．”

　　The following week, my neighbor was walking by the shoe store and the manager recognized(认出)him and called him in．

　　“What’s the problem?” asked my neighbor as he entered the store．

　　“Wasn’t my check any good?”

　　“That’s not it,” answered the manager, “The problem is that your mother is bringing all her friends in for those 12-dollar shoes!”

　　There was little rain in some place for two years and a lot of people died of hunger．So a man reported a famine(饥荒)to an official(官员)．The official asked, “How much wheat have you harvested?”

　　“Thirty percent of the normal yield(正常产量的30％),” the man replied．

　　“How much cotton?”

　　“Twenty percent．”

　　“How much rice?”

　　“Twenty percent．”

　　The official got mad, “You’ve already had seventy percent of the harvest, how dare(敢)you trump up(谎报)famine then?”

　　The man said, “I’ve never seen such a terrible famine in my life of a hundred and several scores of years．”

　　“How could you have lived so long?” asked the official．

　　“Look, I’m over seventy years old．My eldest son is over forty and my second son is over thirty．The total(总数)is a hundred and several scores of years．” All the people hearing this had a good laugh over that．
