English Original
Larry and Harry drove 500 miles to go fishing. They paid a huge sum to rent a cabin and a similar amount for a boat. After fishing for three days, they caught only one fish between them.
On the way home, while Larry drove, Harry fiddled with a calculator. After an hour, Harry said, "Do you realize that this one fish cost us almost $2,000?"
"Wow!" Larry replied. "It's a good thing we didn't catch any more."

拉里和哈里驱车500英里去钓鱼。他们花了一大笔钱租了一间小屋，又花了差不多同样的钱租了一条船。两人钓了三天，只钓到一条鱼。
在回家的路上，拉里开车，哈里拨弄着计算器。一小时后，哈里说：“你可知道我们钓的这条鱼几乎花了我们2000美元？”
“哇！”拉里答道，“幸亏我们没有多钓到鱼。”
