（单词翻译:单击）

An Amercian, a Scot and a Canadian were killed in a car accident. They arrived at the gates of heaven, where a flustered1（慌张的） St. Peter explained that there had been a mistake. "Give me $500 each," he said, "and I'll return you to earth as if the whole thing never happened."

"Done!" said the American. Instantly2, he found himself standing3 unhurt near the scene.

"Where are the others?" asked a medic（医师） .

"Last I knew," said the American, "the Scot was huggling price, and the Canadian was arguing that his government should pay."
