The Grass Eater | 吃草的人

English Original

A man was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw a man eating grass by the roadside. He ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate.

"Why are you eating grass?" he asked.

"I have no money for food," the poor man replied.

"Oh, please come to my house!"

"But sir, I have a wife and four children..."

"Bring them along!" the rich man said.

They all climbed into the limousine. As they drove off, the poor man said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking us in."

The rich man replied, "No, you don't understand. The grass at my house is over three feet tall!"


中文翻译

一位男士坐在他的豪华轿车后座,看见路边有个人正在吃草。他让司机停车,然后下车去查看。

“你为什么吃草?”他问道。

“我没钱买食物,”那个可怜人回答。

“哦,请来我家吧!”

“但是先生,我还有妻子和四个孩子……”

“把他们一起带来!”富人说。

他们全都上了豪华轿车。车开动后,那个可怜人说:“先生,您太善良了。谢谢您收留我们。”

富人回答说:“不,你没明白。我家院子里的草有三英尺多高了!”
