An English traveler found himself in Norway with only enough money to buy the ticket for his journey back home. As he knew that it would take him only two days to get to England, he decided that he could easily spend the time without food. So he bought a ticket and got on the ship. The man closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell. When dinnertime came, he didn’t go to dinning room, saying that he was not feeling very well.
The next morning he still didn’t have breakfast and at lunchtime he again stayed in his room. But at dinnertime he was so hungry that he went to the dinning room and ate everything the waiter put in front of him. He got ready for the quarrel.
“Bring me the bill,” he said. “The bill, sir?” said the waiter in surprise. “There isn’t any bill. On our ship meals are included (包括) in the money for the ticket,” said the waiter.
【中文翻译简介】
一位英国人到挪威旅游。回家的时候发现自己身上的钱只能够买一张票的。想到只需两天就能回到家，他决定这期间就不吃东西了。到开饭的时候，他就一个人呆在船舱里，就这样一直挨到第二天下午。可到了吃晚饭时，他饿得实在受不了了，于是决定挨揍一顿也要去吃。然而，等他吃完饭向服务员要账单时，服务员说这条船上的用餐是免费的，因为用餐费已包括中船票中了。
