A Cigarette for Grandpa
爺爺?shù)南銦?/strong>
His wife asked him to buy a cigarette. "Excuse me?" he asked. "Since when do you smoke?" She said it was for the Chinese New Year. Her dead grandfather used to smoke. The cigarette was for grandpa. He went to the newsstand. He asked how much a pack of cigarettes was. It was $11. He asked how much the cheapest pack was. It was $10. He asked if they sold single cigarettes. They didn't. He didn't want to spend $10 on a whole pack of cigarettes. His wife had asked for only one cigarette. A woman nearby was smoking a cigarette. "Excuse me," he said. "Can I buy a cigarette from you for a dollar?" He offered her a dollar bill. She gave him a cigarette. She refused his money. He felt lucky. He had gotten a free cigarette. And it was a Marlboro—the best! Grandpa would like that.
他的妻子讓他買包香煙。他問道：“什么，你什么時候開始抽煙的？”她說這是為了中國的春節(jié)。她去世的爺爺曾經(jīng)抽煙。煙是為爺爺準(zhǔn)備的。他前往了報刊亭。他詢問了一包煙的價錢。11美元。他詢問了最便宜的煙多少錢。10美元。他問道是否銷售一支煙。他們不賣。他不想花10美元買整包煙。他的妻子只要一支煙。站在旁邊的女性正在抽煙。他問道：“對不起，我能花1美元來買你一支煙嗎？”他給了她1美元。她給了他一支煙。她沒有要錢。他感到非常幸運。他得到了一只免費煙。煙還是最好的萬寶路！爺爺會喜歡的。
