113.A Short Holiday
Alan worked in an office in the city. He worked very hard and really looked forward to his holidays.
He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an ad in a newspaper "Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at Willow Farm. Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing. Reasonable prices ."
" This sounds like a good idea." he thought, " I' 11 spend a month at Willow Farm. I'll enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They'll make a change from sitting by the seaside.
Four days later he returned home.
"What' s wrong with Willow Farm ?" his friend asked him. " Didn't you enjoy country life ?"
"Country life was fine," Alan said." But there was another problem.
"Oh, what?"
Well, the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast lamb for dinner.
揊resh meat is the best.擾"I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner. "
"Lucky you!"
"You don't understand," Alan said." On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner."
" A different roast every day." Jack exclaimed.
"Let me finish," Alan said." On the fourth day the farmer died and I didn't dare stay for dinner!"

113.短期假日
亞倫在一個(gè)城市的公司工作。他十分努力地工作，期望著休假。
以前休假，他經(jīng)常去海邊。但有一年，他看到報(bào)紙上有一則廣告：“領(lǐng)略鄉(xiāng)村生活。在唯利屋農(nóng)場(chǎng)度假數(shù)周，可享受：美味佳肴、新鮮空氣、騎馬、散步、垂釣。價(jià)格合理。”
“這到是個(gè)好主意，”他想，“我要在唯利屋過上一個(gè)月，去享受騎馬的樂趣，還要去散步、釣魚。這肯定與坐在海邊不同。”
四天后，他回來了。
“唯利屋發(fā)生什么事了？”他的朋友問他，“你不喜歡那里的鄉(xiāng)村生活嗎？”
“鄉(xiāng)村生活是很好，”亞倫說，“但是有一個(gè)問題。”
“什么？”
“第一天，一只羊死了。我們的飯是烤羊肉。”
“新鮮肉最好。”
“我知道，但是第二天，一只牛死了。于是我們吃的是烤牛肉。”
“你真是幸運(yùn)。”
“你不知道，”亞倫說，“第三天，一頭豬死了。我們就吃烤豬肉。”
“每天吃不同的燒烤。”
“讓我說完，”亞倫說，“第四天，農(nóng)場(chǎng)主死了。我不敢呆在那里吃飯了。”
