A Cheap Horse | 便宜的马

点击查看中英对照

After his beloved horse died, a man wanted to place an ad in the newspaper: "Horse saddle and bridle for $50."

Inadvertently, the newspaper added a comma, making the ad read: "Horse, saddle and bridle for $50."

Immediately, someone responded: "That's an awfully cheap price for a horse. What's wrong with your horse?"

"Well, he is dead," replied the man who placed the erroneously typed ad.
