(单词翻译:单击)

A lawyer's dog, running about unleashed, beelines for a butcher shop and steals a roast.

Butcher goes to lawyer's office and asks, "If a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?"

The lawyer answers, "Absolutely." "Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today." The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $8.50.
Several days later, the butcher opens the mail and finds an envelope from the lawyer: $250 due for a consultation.

律师的狗没有拴而到处闲逛,它来到一家肉店,偷走了一块烤肉。

店主来到律师的办公室,问道如果一条没栓的狗从我的商店里偷了块肉,我有权利从狗的主人那里要回损失吗?

律师答道:完全可以,那你欠我 8.50美元,你的狗没栓而且今天从我的店里头了块肉,律师什么都没说,马上给他写了一张支票。

几天后,店主打开邮箱,发现一封来自律师的信,信上写道:咨询费250美元。
