The Hearing Aid and the Will | 助听器与遗嘱

English Original

An elderly gentleman had suffered from severe hearing loss for many years. He visited a doctor, who fitted him with a set of hearing aids that restored his hearing completely.

A month later, he returned for a check-up. The doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect now. Your family must be delighted."

The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told them yet. I've just been listening to their conversations. I've already changed my will three times!"

一个月后,他复诊时,医生说:“你的听力现在很完美。你的家人一定很高兴。”

老先生回答道:“哦,我还没告诉他们呢。我只是坐在那里听他们谈话。我的遗嘱已经改了三次了!”
