一位农场主非常吝啬,他不想让自己雇佣的帮工停下来休息。一天早上,他对帮工说:“从地里回来,又要洗手吃饭,又花时间,真是太不方便了。我们何不省点时间,现在就吃午饭呢?”雇员同意了。农场主的妻子端进来一些冷肉和油炸土豆。于是,两个人又开始吃起来。吃完后,吝啬鬼说:“既然我们还在桌子边,让我们连晚饭也吃了吧。”这次上桌的有排骨、煮土豆和杂烩青菜。于是两个人又吃起来。 A farmer is very mean and he does not want to stop the hired workers to rest. One morning he told the helper: “It is really inconvenient for us to come back from the ground and wash our hands again to eat and spend time.” Why do not we save time and have lunch now? “The employee agreed. The farmer’s wife brought in some cold meats and fried potatoes. So, two people began to eat again. After eating, the miser said: ”Now that we’re still at the table, let’s have even ate our dinner.“ ”This time we had ribs, boiled potatoes and chowder greens. So two people eat again.
