A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."

一個小男孩走進一家理發店，這時理發師悄悄對顧客說：“這是天底下最傻的孩子，我來證明給你看。”

 

The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?" The boy takes the quarters and leaves.

理發師在一只手上放了一美元，另一只手上放了兩個25美分的硬幣，然后把男孩叫過來，問道：“孩子，你想要哪個？”男孩拿走了兩個25美分的硬幣然后離開了。

 

"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"

理發師說道：“瞧我剛剛跟你說了啥？這孩子從不會吸取教訓！”

 

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.

過了一會兒，顧客離開的時候，他看到那個男孩從冰淇淋店走了出來。

 

"Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?"

“誒，孩子，我能問你個問題嗎？你為什么拿走美分硬幣而不是美元？”

 

The boy licked his cone¹ and replied,"Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!"

男孩舔了舔冰淇淋然后答道：“因為等我拿走了美元，這個游戲就結束了。”
