57 A Forgetful Person

Once there lived an old man in a town. He always forgot things. So then he
went out, his wife always said to him, "Don't forget this."One day he went on
a long trip alone. He went to the station and bought a ticket.

Then he boarded the train. About an hour later, the conductor began to check
tickets. He came to the old man and said, "Will you please show me your
ticket?"The old man looked for his ticket in all his pockets, but he could not
find it. "I surely bought a ticket, but I cannot find it,"said the old man. "I
believe you bought a ticket. All right. You Don't have to buy another ticket"
said the conductor kindly, but the old man still looked worried and said, "If
I Don't find my ticket, I cannot remember my station. Where am I going?"

一個健忘的人
從前，在一個鎮里住著一位老人。他總是忘記事情。所以當他出門時，他的妻子總是對
他說，“不要忘記這個。”
一天，他要獨自出趟遠門。他去火車站買了票。
隨后，他上了火車。 大約一小時后，乘務員開始查票。他走到老人面前說：“可以把
你的票給我看一下嗎？”老人翻遍了口袋，怎么也找不到他的票。“我肯定買了票，但我
找不到了。”老人說。“我相信你買了票。好吧。你不用補票了。”乘務員和善地說。但
是老人看上去仍然非常著急，他說：“如果我找不到我的票，我就記不起該在哪個站下
車。我是要去哪里呢？”
