（单词翻译:单击）

A pipe burst in a lawyer's house, so he called a plumber1.

The plumber arrived, unpacked2 his tools, did mysterious plumber-type things for a while, and handed the lawyer a bill for $600.

The lawyer exclaimed, "This is ridiculous! I don't even make that much as a lawyer!"

The plumber replied sympathetically, "Neither did I when I was a lawyer."
