Roaches
She called the landlord. Her apartment was full of roaches. Roaches were everywhere. They were under the kitchen sink. They were in the kitchen cabinets. They were on the kitchen counters. They were in the oven. They were on the stove. She turned on the gas. The roaches ran from the hot flames. She sprayed her apartment every month. She used two cans of bug spray a month. First she opened all the windows. Then she sprayed everywhere. The apartment stunk of roach spray. The stink gave her a headache. Finally the landlord came. He looked around the apartment. He saw roaches everywhere. Adult roaches and baby roaches. Teenage roaches. He said, “Boy, you weren’t kidding. You sure have a lot of roaches.” She said, “I know that! What are you going to do about it?” He said, “Don’t worry. I’m calling the bug man. He will put a big tent over the whole building. Then he will spray the whole building. He will spray the whole building with roach spray. The tent will cover the building for a month. Then all the roaches will be dead. Your problem will be solved.” “Oh, that’s great,” she said. “But where will I live for a month?” The landlord said, “That’s a big problem. I don’t know where you will live. Do you have any friends? Maybe you can live with them.”
她叫了房東。她的公寓滿是蟑螂。蟑螂無處不在。它們躲藏在廚房的洗滌槽下面。在廚房櫥柜中。在廚房柜臺中。在微波爐中。在爐灶里。她打開了燃?xì)?。蟑螂從火焰中竄出。她每月都會使用噴霧器。一個月使用兩瓶殺蟲噴霧。首先，她將窗戶全部打開。之后使用噴霧劑。整個房屋彌漫著殺蟲劑味。這種味道讓她頭疼。房東終于來了。他環(huán)繞了四周。他看到蟑螂無處不在。老蟑螂和小蟑螂。還有處在青少時期的蟑螂。他稱：“你沒開玩笑，確實有很多蟑螂?！彼f：“我知道。你打算怎么做？”他說：“別擔(dān)心，我叫殺蟲高手來。他將在整棟樓放置帳篷。并對整棟樓進(jìn)行噴灑。他將對整棟樓噴灑殺蟲噴霧。帳篷將持續(xù)一個月。之后所有蟑螂將被一一消滅。你的問題就解決了?！彼f：“那太好了。但這一個月我住哪？”房東說：“這是個大問題。我不知道你要住哪。你有朋友嗎？或許你能和他們一起住?！?/p>
