One night a hotel caught fire, and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.
 
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.”
 
你知道我是干什么的吗?
 
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。”
