There was¹ once a large, fat woman. She had³ a small, thin husband⁴. He  worked in a big office and got⁵ his weekly⁶ pay⁷ every Friday evening. As² soon as he got home on Fridays, he had to give his wife⁸ all his money, and his wife gave⁹ him back only enough to buy his lunch in the office every day.

 

One day the small man came¹⁰ home very happily¹¹. He hurried into the living¹² room. His wife was listening to the radio and eating apples there.

 

"You'll never guess what happened to me today, dear," he said¹³. He waited for a few¹⁴ seconds and then said again, "I won¹⁵ ten thousand dollars buying the lottery¹⁶ tickets!"

 

"That's wonderful!" shouted his wife. Happily. But then she thought¹⁷ for a few seconds and said angrily, "But wait a minute! How could¹⁸ you have enough money to buy the tickets?"

 

一个高大又肥胖的女人，有一个瘦瘦小小的丈夫。他在一家大公司的上班，每个周五的晚上发工资。他一回到家，就把所有钱交给他妻子，他的妻子只给他每天在公司吃午饭的钱。

 

一天，这个男人很开心回家了。他匆匆忙忙地走进起居室。他的妻子正在吃着苹果听着收音机。

 

“你绝对猜不到我今天发生了什么事，亲爱的，”他说。停顿了几秒钟，然后又说，“我买彩票赢了一万美元！“

 

“那太好了！“他的妻子高兴地说。不过她想了几秒钟后，生气地说，“等一下！你怎么有钱买这张彩票呢？“
