我無論如何得把它做出來。
A little boy bustled into a grocery one day with a memorandum in his hand.
“Hello,Mr. Smith,”He said,“I want thirteen pounds of coffee at 33 cents.”
“Very good,”said the grocer, and he noted down the sale.
“Anything else, Charlie?”
“Yes. Twenty-seven pounds of sugar at 9 cents.”
“The loaf?And whatelse?”
“Seven and a half pounds of bacon at 30 cents.”
“That will be a good brand. Goon.”
“Five pounds of tea at 90 cents;eleven and a half quarts of molasses at 8 cents a pint;two eight-pound hams at 31 cents, and five dozen jars of pickled walnuts at 34 cents a jar.”
The grocer made out the bill.
“It's a big order,”he said.“Did your mother tell you to pay for it?”
“My mother,”said the boy, as he pocketed the neat and accurate bill,“has nothing to do with this business. It is my arithmetic lesson and I had to get it done somehow.”
一天一個小男孩匆匆忙忙地走進了一家雜貨店,一個備忘錄。在他手中
“你好,先生。史密斯,”他說,“我想要一磅的咖啡13磅33美分。”
“很好,”雜貨店老板馬上把這筆生意記了下來銷售。
“什么事,查理?”
“是的。二十七磅糖,九分錢。”
“面包?猜猜嗎?”
“七個半磅的在30美分。”
“這將是一個良好的品牌。呆子”。
“的茶葉,給我五磅90美分;11半夸脫的糖漿8美分一品脫;兩個火腿在31美分,和一罐的腌核桃要五打在34美分一罐。”
雜貨店老板把帳單算了出來。
“這是一個大的訂單,”他說。“你母親有沒有告訴你付錢?”
“媽媽,”那個男孩說,他裝起整潔準確法案,“跟這筆生意無關。這是我的數學題,我無論如何得把它做出來。”
