漂亮的毯子
Mr. Payne was on hoilday. He was staying in a small desert town. One sunny morning he went to the
market. and saw a beartiful carpet there. This one was big and full of rich colours. He looked at it
for a long time, but went away. The next day he passed and saw it again. He asked the price.
"This one. Sir? This is a very special carpet," said the man.
"Yes, but how much is it?"
"It's very old, Sir. It belonged to a great man many years ago. So I can't sell it cheaply."
"No, how much is it?" Mr. Payne asked again.
"A beautiful, old carpet, Sir. And it is also a magic carpet. A magic flying carpet. A man came this
moring and offered me five hundred pounds for it."
"Oh, " said Mr. Payne.
"But I like you, sir. You're a very nice gentleman. I'll sell it to you. Five hundred and fifty
pounds."
"Humm," Mr. Payne thought for a moment. "All right."
"Very good, sir," said the man. "Will you pay now and take it with you?"
"No," said Mr. Payne. "Here's my adress. fly over on the carpet, and I'll pay you when you arrive."
佩恩先生正在休假。他呆在一個荒涼的小鎮(zhèn)上。一個晴朗的早晨,他來到市場,在那兒看到了一訂漂亮的毯子。這床毯子,他便問了價錢。
“這一床嗎”先生!這是一床不尋常的毯子。” 那個人說。
“嗯。這要多少錢?”
“這是一床很特別的毯子,先生。所以,它不會便宜。它很漂亮,是嗎?'
“是的,它很漂亮,但是……”
“它很古老了。許多年以前它曾經(jīng)屬于一位偉人,所以,我不能便宜把它買掉。”
“它值多少錢?”佩恩行政管理問道。
“一床漂亮的,古老的毯子,先生。你是一個很正派的人。我要把它賣給您,550英鎊吧!”
“哼,”佩恩行政管理想了一會兒,說 :“好吧!”
“太好了,先生,這人說:“你現(xiàn)在付錢把它帶走嗎?”
“不!”佩恩先生說,“這里是我的地址,請乘著這塊毯子飛過去吧,你一到我就付錢給你。”
