傳教士的講題

“Oh， that's nice，” said his wife.
The next day， at the grocery store， a young woman who had attended the lecture recognized the minister's wife. “That was certainly an excellent talk your husband gave yesterday， ” she said. “He really has a unique perspective on the subject.” Somewhat chagrined， the minister' s wife replied， “Gee， funny you should think so.
