  一个人把一双鞋子拿到一家鞋店,并对修鞋匠说,“请帮我修这双鞋子。”

 

  “当然可以,先生,”鞋匠说。

 

  “什么时候能修好?”那个人问。

 

  “我有点忙,但到星期四我会修好鞋子的。”他说。

 

  “很好,”那人说,并离开了那家店。

 

  第二天早上,他收到一封信,提供他一份在国外的工作。24小时内,他登上飞机去接受那份新工作。

 

  二十年过去了,他回到了故乡。

 

  他记起了那双鞋。

 

  “那是一双好鞋,”他想,“我想知道鞋匠是否还在那儿,是否还有那双鞋。我要去看看。”

 

  他很高兴看到鞋匠还在那家店里,虽然他已很老了。

        “早上好,”他对鞋匠说,“二十年前,我拿了一双鞋子来修。你记得还有那双鞋吗?”

 

  “名字?”老鞋匠问。

 

  “史密斯,”那人回答。

 

  “我去瞧瞧,或许在后面呢。”

 

  鞋匠回到店的后面去,几分钟后又回来了,手里提着那双鞋子,“在这呢,”他说,“一双棕色的鞋子要修。我有点忙,但可以到星期四把鞋子修好。”
