English Original
Mr. Jones had a few days of holiday, so he decided, "I'm going to the mountains by train."
He put on his best clothes, took a small bag, went to the station, and boarded the train. He wore a beautiful hat and often leaned out of the window during the journey to admire the mountains. However, 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 a name and an address on the bag. Someone will find both of them close together and will send me the bag and the hat."

琼斯先生有几天假期,于是他决定:“我要乘火车去山区。”
他穿上最好的衣服,拿了一个小手提包,去了车站,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。然而,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。“你的包能把你的漂亮帽子带回来吗?”他们问道。
“不会,”琼斯先生回答,“但我的帽子上没有姓名和地址,而包上却有姓名和地址。有人会在附近同时发现这两样东西,然后把包和帽子一起寄给我。”
