He usually went to the seaside
but one year he saw an ad in a newspaper "Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at Willow Farm. Good food
fresh air
horse riding
walking
fishing. Reasonable prices ."
" This sounds like a good idea." he thought
" I' 11 spend a month at Willow Farm. I'll enjoy horse riding
walking and fishing. They'll make a change from sitting by the seaside.
Four days later he returned home.
"What' s wrong with Willow Farm ?" his friend asked him. " Didn't you enjoy country life ?"
"Country life was fine
" Alan said." But there was another problem.
"Oh
what?"
Well
the first day I was there a sheep died
and we had roast lamb for dinner.
“Fresh meat is the best."I know
but on the second day a cow died
and we had roast beef for dinner. "
"Lucky you!"
"You don't understand
" Alan said." On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner."
" A different roast every day." Jack exclaimed.
"Let me finish
" Alan said." On the fourth day the farmer died and I didn't dare stay for dinner!"短期假日
亞倫在壹個城市的公司工作。他十分努力地工作，期望著休假。
以前休假，他經常去海邊。但有壹年，他看到報紙上有壹則廣告：“領略鄉村生活。在唯利屋農場度假數周，可享受：美味佳肴、新鮮空氣、騎馬、散步、垂釣。價格合理。”
“這到是個好主意，”他想，“我要在唯利屋過上壹個月，去享受騎馬的樂趣，還要去散步、釣魚。這肯定與坐在海邊不同。”
四天後，他回來了。
“唯利屋發生什麽事了？”他的朋友問他，“妳不喜歡那裏的鄉村生活嗎？”
“鄉村生活是很好，”亞倫說，“但是有壹個問題。”
“什麽？”
“第壹天，壹只羊死了。我們的飯是烤羊肉。”
“新鮮肉最好。”
“我知道，但是第二天，壹只牛死了。於是我們吃的是烤牛肉。”
“妳真是幸運。”
“妳不知道，”亞倫說，“第三天，壹頭豬死了。我們就吃烤豬肉。”
“每天吃不同的燒烤。”
“讓我說完，”亞倫說，“第四天，農場主死了。我不敢呆在那裏吃飯了。”
