A man told his son to take a letter to the post office, buy a three-cent stamp and mail it.

 

After a while his son returned. The man asked him, "Did you mail the letter?"

 

His son replied, "Certainly, and I have saved the three cents. I saw many people dropping letters in a box, so when nobody was looking, I dropped mine in too."

 

有个人叫他的儿子拿一封信到邮局去买一张三分钱的邮票把它寄出去。

 

过了一会儿他的儿子回来了，他问儿子：“信寄了吗？”

 

儿子回答说：“当然寄了，我还省了三分钱哩。我看到很多人把信投进了一个箱子，我就趁没人的时候把我的也投进去了。”
