The kind bishop asked an author's son, "Do you want to become an author like your father?"
"No," replied the boy.
"Then what is your ambition, my little man?" said the bishop.
"I want to become a famous person," the boy replied frankly. "Then anything I write will be printed."

“不想。”男孩回答。
“那你有什么志向呢，小家伙？”主教问道。
“我想成为一个有名的人，”男孩坦率地回答，“那样，无论我写什么，都会被出版。”
