A Bet
Two pals are sitting in a pub watching the eleven-'clock news.A reporter comes on about a man threatening to jump from the 20th floor of a downtown building.One friend turns to the other and says,'I'll bet you ten bucks the guy doesn't jump.'
'It's a bet,' agrees his buddy.
A few minutes later,the man on the ledge jumps,so the loser hands his pal a $10 bill.'I can't take your money,'his friend admits.'I saw him jump earlier on the six-o'clock news.'
'Me,too,'says the other buddy.'But I didn't think he'd do it again.
打赌
两个好朋友正坐在一家小酒馆内观看十一点的电视新闻.一则新闻报道说,有个男人威胁要从商业区一座大楼的二十层跳下去.一位朋友转身对另一位说道：“我敢赌十块钱,那家伙不会往下跳.”
“赌就赌,”他的朋友欣然同意.
几分钟后,站在墙檐上的男人跳了下去,因而赌输的那位交给他的朋友一张十元的钞票.“我不能拿你的钱,”他的朋友承认道,“早在六点的新闻里,我就已见他跳下去了.”
“我也是,”另一位说,“可我想他不会再跳了!”
