A Mistake


An American, a Scot and a Canadian were killed in a car accident. They arrived at the gates of heaven, where a flustered St. Peter explained that there had been a mistake. "Give me $500 each," he said, "and I'll return you to earth as if ，

the whole thing never happened."

"Done!" said the American. Instantly, he found ，

himself standing unhurt near the scene.

"Where are the others?" asked a medic.

"Last I knew," said the American, "the Scot was haggling price,

and the Canadian was arguing that his government should pay."

搞错了

一位美国人，一位英格兰人和一位加拿大人在一场车祸中丧生。

他们到达天堂的门口。

在那里醉醺醺的圣彼德解释说是搞错了。

“每人给我五百美元，”他说，“我将把你们送回人间，

就象什么都没有发生过一样。”

“成交!”美国人说。

立刻，他发现自己毫不损伤地站在现场附近。

“其他人在哪儿？”一名医生问道。

“我离开之前，”那名美国人说，

“我看见英格兰人正在砍价，

而那名加拿大人正在分辩说应该由他的政府来出这笔钱。”
