English Original
Mr. Jones had a few days' holiday, so he decided to go to the mountains by train.
He put on his best clothes, took a small bag, and boarded the train. He wore a beautiful hat and often leaned out of the window to admire the mountain views during the journey. Suddenly, the wind blew his hat off.
Mr. Jones quickly took his old bag and threw it out of the window as well.
The other passengers in the carriage laughed. "Is your bag going to bring your beautiful hat back?" they asked.
"No," Mr. Jones replied, "but there's no name or address in my hat, while there is on the bag. Someone will find them together and send both back to me."

琼斯先生有几天假期,于是他决定乘火车去山里。
他穿上最好的衣服,拿上一个小包,登上了火车。他戴着一顶漂亮的帽子,旅途中经常探出窗外欣赏山景。突然,风把他的帽子吹跑了。
琼斯先生迅速拿起他的旧包,也把它扔出了窗外。
车厢里的其他乘客都笑了。他们问:“你的包能把你的漂亮帽子带回来吗?”
“不能,”琼斯先生回答,“但我的帽子上没有名字和地址,而包上有。有人会发现它们在一起,然后把两样东西都寄回给我。”
