Keep the Change

One sweltering day， I was scooping ice cream into cones and told my four children they could “buy” a cone from me for a hug. Almost immediately， the kids lined up to make their purchases. The three youngest each gave me a quick hug， grabbed their cones and raced back outside. But when my teenage son at the end of the line finally got his turn to“buy” his ice cream， he gave me two hugs. “Keep the changes，” he said with a smile.

不用找了

有一天天氣悶熱，我將冰淇淋舀進錐筒，告訴我的四個小孩，他們可以從我這里用擁抱“購買”一筒。于是，孩子們馬上排起了隊來購買。較小的三個孩子每人很快的抱了我一下，抓過冰淇淋筒就跑到外面去了。最后輪到排在隊尾十幾歲的大兒子來“買”冰淇淋時，他擁抱了我兩下，“不用找了，”他笑著說。

Sorry， No Change Here

A friend and I were standing in line at a fast-food restaurant， waiting to place our order. There was a big sign posted. “No bills larger than $20 will be accepted.”

The woman in front of us， pointing to the sign， remarked， “Believe me， if I had a bill larger

than $20， I wouldnt be eating here.”

對不起，本店不找零錢

我和一個朋友在快餐店排隊訂餐，那里很醒目地寫著“不接受超過20美元的大鈔（請自備零錢）”。

我們前邊的一位女士指著這個牌子對我們說：“你信不信，如果我身上有超過20美元的話，我一定不會在這兒吃飯！”
