Jim is very hungry. He is walking down the street when he sees a restaurant. He doesn’t have any money, but he goes into the restaurant and sits down at a table. He orders some soup.
吉姆非常饿。他正在街上走着，看见了一家餐馆。他没有钱，但他走进餐厅，坐在一张桌子旁。他点了一些汤。
After a while, Jim cries, “Waiter!” The waiter comes up to him, “There’s a fly in the soup.” He points to a speck in the soup.
过了一会儿，吉姆喊道:“服务员！”服务员朝他走来，“汤里有只苍蝇。”他指着汤里的一个小点说。
“It’s impossible.” says the waiter. “It’s black pepper!”
“这是不可能的。服务员说。“这是黑胡椒!”
“No,” Jim says, “The little black speck with wings is a fly.”
“不，”吉姆说，“有翅膀的小黑点是苍蝇。”
The other people in the restaurant come over. The manager hears the voice and comes up to the table.
餐厅里的其他人围了过来。经理也闻声赶来。
“I find a fly in the soup.”
“我在汤里发现了一只苍蝇。”
“It’s impossible,” the manager says.
“不可能。”经理说。
“Look,” Jim shows him the fly with the spoon.
“看，”吉姆用勺子给他看苍蝇。
“Well, I’m very sorry, sir. Waiter, bring this gentleman a steak dinner and wine.” So the waiter brings him a good dinner.
“很抱歉，先生。服务员，给这位先生上一份牛排和葡萄酒。”然后服务员给他端来了一顿丰盛的晚餐。
At that moment, a box falls from Jim’s pocket. The manger picks it up and opens it. What’s in it? A box of flies.
就在那时，一个盒子从吉姆的口袋里掉了出来。经理把它捡起来打开。这是什么？一盒苍蝇。
He is very angry. He turns to Jim, “You are a big fool. Get out of my restaurant at once!”
