A man goes into a pet shop and tells the owner that he wants to buy a pet that can do everything. The shop owner suggests a faithful dog.
有个人走进一家宠物店，跟老板说要买一只万能宠物。店老板建议他买只忠心的狗。
The man replies, "Come on, a dog?"
那个人回答：“得了吧，狗行吗?”
The owner says, "How about a cat?"
老板说：“那猫怎么样?”
The man replies, "No way! A cat certainly can't do everything. I want a pet that can do everything!"
那个人回答：“不行啦!猫当然不会是万能的。我要的是万能宠物!”
The shop owner thinks for a minute, then says, "I've got it! a centipede!"
店老板想了一会儿说道：“有了!就是蜈蚣!”
The man says, "A centipede? I can't imagine a centipede doing everything, but okay... I'll try a centipede."
那个人说：“蜈蚣?真难想象蜈蚣会是万能的，不过也好...我就买一条蜈蚣试试看。”
He gets the centipede home and says to the centipede, "Clean the kitchen."
他把蜈蚣带回家后跟蜈蚣说：“去打扫厨房。”
Thirty minutes later, he walks into the kitchen and... It's immaculate! All the dishes and silverware have been washed, dried, and put away; the counter-tops cleaned; the appliances sparkling; the floor waxed.
He says to the centipede, "go clean the living room."
他跟蜈蚣说：“去打扫客厅。”
Twenty minutes later, he walks into the living room. The carpet has been vacuumed; the furniture cleaned and dusted; the pillows on the sofa plumped; Plants watered. The man thinks to himself, "This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. This really is a pet that can do everything!"
