不差錢

　　"Doctor," he said, "you must help me. I swallowed a penny about a month ago."

　　"Good heavens, man!" said the doctor. "Why have you waited so long? Why don't you come to me on the day you swallowed it?"

　　"To tell you the truth, Doctor," the poor man replied, "I didn't need the money so badly then."

　　中文翻譯：

　　一個看起來很難受的窮人走進大夫的診室。

　　"大夫!"他說，"幫幫我!一個月前我吞了一分硬幣!"

　　"天哪，"大夫說，"早干嘛去了?你當時怎么不來看?"

　　"實話告訴您吧，大夫，"窮人說，"我當時還不缺錢!"
