经过多年努力的工作，乔决定给自己一个奖励，在一个加勒比的豪华酒店度假。一次在海滩上放松休息时，他惊讶地发现了一个以前的高中同学，毕业以来他还从没有看到过他。这个老朋友在高中的时候是一个“倦怠”的家伙，也是乔希望见到的最后一位。 乔走近他，抓住他的手。”皮特，我是乔。从高中到现在，这肯定是一个很长的时间。你看上去棒极了。你一定很不错吧？” 皮特：“我是一个非常成功的法律公司的合作伙伴。但是要保守这个秘密。不要告诉我妈妈。还在上中学的时候，她就认为我是个毒品贩子。如果她现在知道了我赚多少钱的话，她会非常失望的。” After many years of hard work, Joe rewarded himself with a long, luxurious stay at an exclusive Carribean resort. While relaxing on the beach, he was surprised to see a former high school classmate who he hadn't seen since they graduated. His old friend had been something of a "burnout" in high school, and this was the last place Joe expected to see him. Joe approached the man, and seized his hand. "Pete, it's Joe. From high school. It's sure been a long time. You look great! You must really be doing okay for yourself." "I am," whispered Pete. "I am a partner with a very successful law firm. But keep that a secret, don't tell mother. She got the idea that I was a drug dealer back when I was in high school, and she would be terribly disappointed if she figured out how I really make my money." |
