Keep the Change
One sweltering day， I was scooping ice cream into cones and told my four children they could “buy” a cone from me for a hug. Almost immediately， the kids lined up to make their purchases. The three youngest each gave me a quick hug， grabbed their cones and raced back outside. But when my teenage son at the end of the line finally got his turn to“buy” his ice cream， he gave me two hugs. “Keep the changes，” he said with a smile.
不用找了
有一天天气闷热，我将冰淇淋舀进锥筒，告诉我的四个小孩，他们可以从我这里用拥抱“购买”一筒。于是，孩子们马上排起了队来购买。较小的三个孩子每人很快的抱了我一下，抓过冰淇淋筒就跑到外面去了。最后轮到排在队尾十几岁的大儿子来“买”冰淇淋时，他拥抱了我两下，“不用找了，”他笑着说。
Sorry， No Change Here
A friend and I were standing in line at a fast-food restaurant， waiting to place our order. There was a big sign posted. “No bills larger than $20 will be accepted.”
The woman in front of us， pointing to the sign， remarked， “Believe me， if I had a bill larger
than $20， I wouldn’t be eating here.”
对不起，本店不找零钱
我和一个朋友在快餐店排队订餐，那里很醒目地写着“不接受超过20美元的大钞（请自备零钱）”。
我们前边的一位女士指着这个牌子对我们说：“你信不信，如果我身上有超过20美元的话，我一定不会在这儿吃饭！”
