English Original
A shoplifter was caught red-handed trying to steal a watch from a jewelry store.
"Listen," said the shoplifter, "I know you don't want any trouble either. What do you say I just buy the watch, and we forget about this?"
The manager agreed and wrote up the sales slip. The crook looked at the slip and said, "This is a little more than I intended to spend. Do you have anything cheaper?"

“听着，”小偷说，“我知道你们也不想惹麻烦。我把这只表买下，然后我们就当什么也没发生，你看怎样？”
经理表示同意，并开具了销售单。这个坏蛋看着单子说道：“这比我最初的预算高了一点。你们还有没有便宜点儿的东西？”
