English Original
Dan was the doorman of a club in a big city. Every day, thousands of people passed by his door, and many of them would stop to ask him, "What's the time, please?"
After a few months, Dan thought to himself, "I'm tired of answering all these people. I'll buy a large clock and put it on the wall here." He did just that.
"Now people won't stop to ask me the time," he thought happily. However, after the clock was installed, many people stopped, looked at it, and then asked Dan, "Is that clock right?"

丹是一家大城市俱乐部的门卫。每天，成千上万的人经过他的门口，其中很多人都会停下来问他：“请问现在几点了？”
几个月后，丹心想：“我厌倦了回答这些人。我要买一个大钟挂在这面墙上。”他照做了。
“现在人们不会再停下来问我时间了，”他高兴地想。然而，钟挂上之后，许多人停下来看了看钟，然后问丹：“这个钟准吗？”
