格林美食杂货店的一位顾客对该店老板的聪明和智慧大为惊叹。 ‘‘告诉我，格林，你为什么如此聪明?” “我是不会与任何人分享我的秘密的。’’格林压低声音答道， 以防别的顾客听到。“但是既然你是个很好且忠实的顾客，我就告诉你吧。是鱼头。只要你吃大量的鱼头，肯定会变得非常聪明。” “你这里有卖的吗？"这个顾客问道。 “一个只卖4美元，"格林说。 这位顾客买了3个鱼头。一周后，他回到店里，抱怨说鱼头很难吃,况且他也没变得更聪明。 "你吃的还不够多。"格林说。这位顾客又拿了20个鱼头回家了。两周后，他回来了，这次他真的很生气。 “嘿，格林。"他说,“你卖给我每个鱼头4美元，而我发现用2 美元就可以买整条鱼。你骗我!” "看到了吧？”格林说，"你已经变聪明了。” Do You Want Fish Heads? A customer at Green's Gourmet Grocery marveled at the proprietor's quick wit and intelligence. “Tell me, Green, what makes you so smart?” “I wouldn't share my secret with just anyone,” Green replies, lowering his voice, so the other shoppers won't hear. “But since you’re a good and faithful customer，I'll let you in on it. Fish heads. You eat enough of them. You'll be positively brilliant. ” “You sell them here?” the customer asks. “Only $4 a piece,” says Green. The customer buys three. A week later, he’s back in the store complaining that the fish heads were disgusting and he isn’t any smarter. “You didn't eat enough，” says Green. The cus tomer goes home with 20 more fish heads. Two weeks later, he’s back and this time he’s really angry. “Hey, Green,” he says, “You’re selling me fish heads for $4 a piece when I just found out I can buy the whole fish for $2. You're ripping me off!” “You see?” says Green. “You’re smarter already. ’’ |
