A poor man entered a doctor’s consulting-room. He looked very unhappy.

“Doctor,” he said, “you must help me. I swallowed a penny about a month ago.”

“Good heavens, man!” said the doctor. “Why have you waited so long? Why don’t you come to me on the day you swallowed it?”

“To tell you the truth, Doctor,” the poor man replied, “I didn’t need the money so badly then.”

一個(gè)窮人走進(jìn)診所。他滿臉憂愁。

“大夫。”他說道：“您一定得幫幫我啊。大約在一個(gè)月前，我把一枚便士給吞進(jìn)肚子里去了。”

“天哪！伙計(jì)。”大夫說道：“你怎么耽擱了這么久呢？你吞下它時(shí)怎么不來找我呢？”

窮人答道：“大夫，實(shí)話跟您說吧。當(dāng)時(shí)我還并不急著用這錢呢！”
