有个人在餐馆吃饭时把侍者叫了过来，抱怨说给自己上了一盘肉却只有 一条面包。 “我很喜欢吃面包。"那人说，“下回记住了。” 第二次他来就餐，侍者给了他三条面包。“这比上回好多了，"那人说道，"但我希望有更多的面包。” 第三次他来就餐，侍者给了他五条面包,但他还是不高兴。随后侍者把这件事告诉了厨师，厨师说下次他来就餐一定会让他非常满意的。 两天后那个人又来了。侍者赶紧通知了厨师，厨师立即找面包房，之前他和面包房已经预定了一个6英尺长，2英尺宽，3英尺厚的大面包。面包房把面包送到了餐馆，厨师和侍者洋洋得意地把面包端给了那个客人。顾客盯着这个面包,几乎不相信自己的眼睛。 "我再也不来了丨"他很生气地从座位上站起来，把餐巾扔到桌子上。“我一直告诉你，我想要很多面包，这回你又只给了我一条面包!’’ The Man Who Loved Bread A man eating in a restaurant called the waiter and complained that he had been given only one loaf with his meat dish. "I like lots of bread," said the man. “Remember that next time." The next time he came the waiter served him three loaves. “This is better than the last time," said the man. “ But I would have liked more bread. ” The next time he came the waiter served him five loaves but sill the man seemed unhappy. Later the waiter told the cook about the man. The cook said he would see to it that the man was fully satisfied the next time he came. Two days later the man came again. The waiter alerted the cook who alerted the bakery with whom he had placed an order for a loaf 2ft wide, 3ft thick and 6ft long. The bakery delivered the loaf to the restaurant, and the cook and the waiter triumphantly carried the loaf to the customer. The customer stared at the loaf in disbelief. "This is the last time I’m coming here!" he announced getting up angrily from his chair and throwing his napkin on the table. " I keep telling you I want more bread and here you are once again serving me just one loaf! ” |
