English Original
Mr. Brown arrived for work an hour late. His clothes were torn and tattered. He was banged and bruised, and he had one arm in a sling. His boss was purple with rage.
"It's ten o'clock," screamed the boss, "you were supposed to be here at nine. What happened?"
"I'm sorry," explained Mr. Brown, "I fell out of a ten-story window."
"That took you a whole hour?"

布朗先生上班整整迟到了一小时。他衣衫褴褛，浑身青紫，一只胳膊还吊着绷带。他的老板气得脸色发紫。
"现在已经十点了，"老板咆哮道，"你九点就该到的。到底怎么回事？"
"对不起，"布朗先生解释道，"我从十层楼的窗户摔下去了。"
"难道那也要花整整一个小时吗？"
