English Original
Sam was near the end of his long life. His children stood by the bed, waiting to hear his last words.
Finally, he said, "My children, your mother and I have been married for more than 50 years, and she is a wonderful cook. Even now, I can smell bread baking. Sarah, be a dear and go get me a piece."
A few minutes later, Sarah returned to the room. "Sarah," her father asked, "where's the bread I asked you to get?"
"Mama says you can't have any," Sarah replied. "It's for the funeral tomorrow."

山姆漫长的生命即将走到尽头。他的孩子们站在床边，等待着聆听他的遗言。
最后，他开口说道：“孩子们，你们的母亲和我结婚五十多年了，她的厨艺非常棒。直到现在，我还能闻到烤面包的香味。萨拉，乖，去给我拿一片来。”
几分钟后，萨拉回到了房间。“萨拉，”父亲问道，“我让你拿的面包呢？”
“妈妈说您不能吃，”萨拉回答，“那是为明天的葬礼准备的。”
