The Hearing Aid and the Will | 助听器与遗嘱

点击查看中英对照

An elderly gentleman had suffered from severe hearing loss for many years. He visited a doctor, who fitted him with a set of hearing aids that restored his hearing completely.

A month later, he returned for a check-up. The doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect now. Your family must be delighted."

The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told them yet. I've just been listening to their conversations. I've already changed my will three times!"
