| George was very stingy (吝啬的). He hated spending money. Whenever he had to buy something, he always argued about the price and tried to bargain (讨价还价), even for the cheapest things. If he wanted to buy a bottle of coke, for example, and the shopkeeper asked for $2, George would say, "Make it $1.90 and I"ll buy it." Sometimes the shopkeeper agreed to reduce (降低) their prices a little. "What"s ten cents?" they asked themselves."If it makes this man happy, then it won"t hurt me very much." In this way George saved a few cents here and a few cents there, and by the end of the year, he had saved several hundred dollars. One day he had a very bad toothache and had to go to the dentist. The dentist looked at the tooth and said, "This tooth will have to come out. It"s too damaged (损坏的) to save." "How much do you charge (要价) to take out a tooth?" George asked. "Forty dollars." the dentist said. "Forty dollars!" George thought this was much too expensive. "How long will it take you to pull out the tooth?" he asked. "About two minutes," the dentist said. George could not believe what he was hearing. "Forty dollars for two minutes" work!" he shouted. "That"s robbery (抢劫)." The dentist smiled. "You"re right," she said. "Thank you for telling me. I"ll pull your tooth out very slowly. What if I take half an hour?" |
