Bertha was a very pretty girl. Quite a lot of young men wanted to marry her, but she was not satisfied with any of them.

One day, a young man asked her to become his wife. She answered, "No, John, I won't marry you. I want to marry a man who is famous, who can play music, who can tell interesting stories, who does not smoke or drink , who stays at home in the evenings and who stops talking when I'm tired of listening." The young man got up, took his coat and went to the door, but before he left the house, he turned and said to Bertha, "It isn't a man you're looking for. It's a television set."

年轻人站起身，拿起他的外衣朝门走去，在离开房间以前，他转身对伯莎说：“你要的不是一个男人，而是一台电视机。”
