（单词翻译:单击）

After many months of trying to make ends meet, a couple decided1 that the only way they were going to get any extra cash was to have the old lady start hooking2.

Early the next morning the wife came home looking very haggard and worn out. The husband guiltily asked how she did, to which the wife replied that she earned two hundred dollars and 50 cents.

“That’s great!“ the husband replies. “But who gave you the 50 cents?”

“Everybody!” replied the wife.
