For many years Henry had been a journalist. He had worked on many international newspapers and magazines and traveled over the world.

Henry had witnessed war and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and erupting volcanoes ( 火山爆发).

He had reported on serious accidents such as major fires and airline crashes.

He had seen every kind of terrible crime and strange event there was.

He had met and written about some of the most unusual people in the world.

In fact, there wasn’t much that Henry had not seen or done.

Now he was retired from journalism(新闻业). He owned a very expensive restaurant and spent his days talking to his wealthy and important customers. He liked to say that nothing surprised him.

One day he was sitting at the bar in his restaurant when a big gorilla(大猩猩) walked in and asked for a table.

Henry showed no surprise. He took the gorilla to a table and handed him a menu. He treated him politely and pretended there was nothing at all strange about having a gorilla in his restaurant.

The gorilla looked through the menu and ordered a salad.

Henry served the gorilla his salad personally, knowing that his waiters and waitresses would be too frightened.

At last the gorilla finished his salad and asked for the bill.

Henry wrote out the bill and handed it to the big animal.

The gorilla studied it, shook his head sadly then gave Henry fifty dollars.

“Thank you,” Henry said, and then to make conversation, he added, “we don’t get many gorillas in this restaurant.”

“At fifty dollars for a salad,” the gorilla said, “I’m not surprised.”
