An Excellent Use Of Books

Once there was an egghead with his servant. One day,

he told his servant to bring some books. The servant

took two or three books that he considered to be the

most famous, but the master said, "Not enough."

The servant got one more book, but the master

still said, "Not enough! Go get three more."

After the servant did this, he said, "Now that's it."

The servant asked, "How can you read so many books

in such a short time? You kept saying 'not enough,' 'not enough.'"

The egghead replied, "I'm not reading them. I'm using them as a pillow."

書的妙用

有一個書生，他有一個傭人。有一天，他叫他的傭人帶一些書來，

那個傭人就選了自己認為最出名的兩、三本帶過來。然后他說：

「啊！不夠！」所以傭人就多帶一本來。他還是說：「不夠！

多帶三本來。」之后，他說：「啊！現在才好。」那個傭人就問：

「你怎么能夠一下子看那么多書呢？一直說不夠、不夠！」

書生回答：「沒有啊！我是要當枕頭用！」
