Two men stood outside and looked at the fire.
"Before I came out," said one,"I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. People don't think of money when they're afraid. When anyone leaves paper money in a fire, the fire burns it. So I took all the bills that I could find.No one will be poorer because I took them."
"You don't know my work?" said the other.
"What is your work?"
"I'm a policeman.
"Oh!" cried the first man. He thought quickly and said,"And do you know my work?""No,"said the policeman.
"I'm a writer. I'm always telling stories about things that never happened."
一天晚上,一家旅馆失火,住在这家旅馆里的人穿着睡衣就跑了出来。
两个人站在外面,看着大火。
“在我出来之前,其中一个说:“我跑进一些房间,找到了一大笔钱。人在恐惧中是不会想到钱的。如果有人把纸币留在火里,火就会把它烧成灰烬。所以我把我所能找到的钞票都拿走了。没有人会因为我拿走它们而变得更穷。
“你不知道我是干什么的。另一个说。
“你是干什么的?
“我是警察。
“噢!第一个人喊了一声。他灵机一动,说:“那你知道我是干什么的?“不知道。警察说。
“我是个作家。我总是爱编一些从未发生过的故事。
