The Businessman's Solution | 商人的解决方案

English Original

A family moved from the city to the suburbs and were advised to get a watchdog to guard their house. They went to a nearby dealer and bought the largest dog available.

Shortly afterwards, burglars broke into the house at night while the dog was asleep. The homeowner went back to the dealer and told him what had happened.

"Well," said the dealer, "what you need now is a little dog to wake up the big one."


中文翻译

一户人家从城里搬到郊区,有人建议他们买一条看门狗来守护房子。他们去附近的一个商人那里,买了一条能买到的最大的狗。

不久之后,夜贼在晚上闯入了房子,而那条狗当时正在睡觉。房主回去找那个商人,告诉了他发生的事。

“嗯,”商人说,“你现在需要的是一条小狗,来把那条大狗叫醒。”
