Alan worked in an office in the city. He worked very hard and really looked forward to his holidays.
He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an ad in a newspaper "enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at Willow Farm. Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing. Reasonable prices ."
" This sounds like a good idea." he thought, " I' 11 spend a month at Willow Farm. I'll enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They'll make a change from sitting by the seaside.
Four days later he returned home.
"What' s wrong with Willow Farm ?" his friend asked him. " Didn't you enjoy country life ?"
"Country life was fine," Alan said." But there was another problem.
"Oh, what?"
Well, the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast lamb for dinner.
“Fresh meat is the best."I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner. "
"Lucky you!"
"You don't understand," Alan said." On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner."
" A different roast every day." Jack exclaimed.
"Let me finish," Alan said." On the fourth day the farmer died and I didn't dare stay for dinner!"短期假日
亚伦在一个城市的公司工作。他十分努力地工作,期望着休假。
以前休假,他经常去海边。但有一年,他看到报纸上有一则广告:“领略乡村生活。在唯利屋农场度假数周,可享受:美味佳肴、新鲜空气、骑马、散步、垂钓。价格合理。”
“这到是个好主意,”他想,“我要在唯利屋过上一个月,去享受骑马的乐趣,还要去散步、钓鱼。这肯定与坐在海边不同。”
四天后,他回来了。
“唯利屋发生什么事了?”他的朋友问他,“你不喜欢那里的乡村生活吗?”
“乡村生活是很好,”亚伦说,“但是有一个问题。”
“什么?”
“第一天,一只羊死了。我们的饭是烤羊肉。”
“新鲜肉最好。”
“我知道,但是第二天,一只牛死了。于是我们吃的是烤牛肉。”
“你真是幸运。”
“你不知道,”亚伦说,“第三天,一头猪死了。我们就吃烤猪肉。”
“每天吃不同的烧烤。”
“让我说完,”亚伦说,“第四天,农场主死了。我不敢呆在那里吃饭了。”
