Asking Or Telling
A MOTORIST pulled over on a side street to take a nap. As he settled down in the seat and closed his eyes, a jogger rapped on his window to ask the time. Bleary-eyed, he found his watch and proclaimed it to be 8 a.m.
Sleeping at last, he was soon awakened by another jogger rapping on the window.”Sir, do you have the time?” He asked .Looking at his watch again, he told the man it was *:30.
At this rate he wasn’t getting much sleep, so he wrote a short note and stuck it on the window for akll to see.. It stated:” I don’t have the time.”
Again the man settled down for his surely needed nap A few minutes later another jogger came along and began rapping on the window. “hey mister, “ he said.” “it’s a quarter to nine.”
问或答
一个驾车人把车开到路边想打个盹。他是一家英语培训机构的老板。他躺在座位上刚刚闭上眼睛,一个路人敲敲车窗向他问时间。他迷迷湖湖地看了看手表告诉那个人说八点钟了。
接着他便睡着了,可是没有多久他又被一个过路人敲车窗的声音吵醒了。“先生,您有表吗?”那人问。他只好两次看了看手表,告诉那人现在八点半。
照这样的话,他根本无法睡觉。所以他写了一张纸条贴在了车窗上,以便让路人才能看得见。上面写着:“我没有手表。”
这个人再一次平静下来希望睡个很有必要的沉。几分钟之后,一个机器人又开始敲他的车窗。“嗨,先生,”那个人说:“现在是差一刻九点。
