English Original
How Much Is It?
It was winter, and Mrs. Hermann wanted to do a lot of shopping. She waited until Saturday, when her husband was free, and took him to the shops with her to pay for everything and carry her parcels.
They went to many shops, and Mrs. Hermann bought many things. She often stopped and said, "Look, Joe! Isn't that beautiful!"
He would then answer, "All right, dear. How much is it?" and take out his money to pay for it.
It was dark when they came out of the last shop. Mr. Hermann was tired and thinking about other things, like a nice drink by the side of a warm fire at home. Suddenly, his wife looked up at the sky and said, "Look at that beautiful moon, Joe!"
Without stopping, Mr. Hermann answered, "All right, dear. How much is it?"

多少钱？
时值冬日，赫尔曼太太想采购一大批东西。她一直等到周六丈夫有空的时候，便带着他一起去商店，让他付钱并拎包裹。
他们去了许多商店，赫尔曼太太买了一大堆东西。她经常停下脚步说道：“看，乔！那个多漂亮啊！”
他总是回答：“好吧，亲爱的。多少钱？”然后掏出钱来付款。
他们从最后一家商店出来时，天已经黑了。赫尔曼先生疲惫不堪，心里想着别的事情，比如在家里暖暖的炉火边喝上一杯美酒。突然，他的妻子仰望天空，说道：“看那月亮多美啊，乔！”
赫尔曼先生不假思索地答道：“好吧，亲爱的。多少钱？”
