Amos asked his mother whether they could have a video.
I’m afraid we can’t afford one, sighed his mother.
But on the following day in came Amos, staggering beneath the weight of a brand-new video.
How on earth did you pay for that? gasped his mother.
Easy, Mum. replied Amos, I sold the television!

艾莫斯問(wèn)媽媽他們是否能買一臺(tái)錄像機(jī)。
恐怕我們還買不起,媽媽嘆息著說(shuō)。
可第二天當(dāng)艾莫斯回來(lái)時(shí),他搖搖晃晃地搬著一臺(tái)全新的錄像機(jī)。
你究竟是哪兒來(lái)的錢買這東西?媽媽大吃一驚,喘著氣說(shuō)。
媽媽,這簡(jiǎn)單, 艾曼斯回答。我把電視機(jī)給賣了!
