Something Is Wrong with Your Cars | 你的车不对劲

点击查看中英对照

Robert was a clever young man who got along well with his classmates, despite his tendency to boast. Strong and athletic, he hoped to join the army after middle school. However, a traffic accident injured his leg, leaving him unable to walk. He returned to his home village to help his father manage their farm. Robert studied farming diligently, excelled at it, and eventually bought several neighboring farms. Within ten years, he became the richest farmer in the village.

Years later, Robert met several friends in the capital, some of whom were now famous. Unaware of his success, they knew little about their "lame" friend. Feeling slighted, Robert invited them to visit his farm. They agreed and accompanied him. Upon arrival, they were greeted by a beautiful house with a large garden and saw that Robert owned many sheep, pigs, and cows. Robert and his family warmly welcomed their guests from London.

The next morning, he took them to see his farm. It was so vast they couldn't see the other end, astonishing them all.

"It'll take you two days to reach the other end of my farm by car!" Robert said happily.

"I think something is wrong with your cars!" one of the guests replied with a smile.
