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.”
問或答
一個駕車人把車開到路邊想打個盹。他是一家英語培訓(xùn)機構(gòu)的老板。他躺在座位上剛剛閉上眼睛，一個路人敲敲車窗向他問時間。他迷迷湖湖地看了看手表告訴那個人說八點鐘了。
接著他便睡著了，可是沒有多久他又被一個過路人敲車窗的聲音吵醒了。“先生，您有表嗎？”那人問。他只好兩次看了看手表，告訴那人現(xiàn)在八點半。
照這樣的話，他根本無法睡覺。所以他寫了一張紙條貼在了車窗上，以便讓路人才能看得見。上面寫著：“我沒有手表。”
這個人再一次平靜下來希望睡個很有必要的沉。幾分鐘之后，一個機器人又開始敲他的車窗。“嗨，先生，”那個人說：“現(xiàn)在是差一刻九點。
