There once was a dog show to determine the world's smartest dog. Three dogs were in the final. One dog belonged to a doctor. One dog belonged to an engineer. And, one dog belonged to a lawyer.
For the final each dog was given a bag of bones to see what it could make. The doctor said, "Stethoscope, go!" The dog built a human skeleton.
The judges were ready to award the
trophy1 right then. But, they
decided2 to give the other dogs a try.
The engineer said, "Slide-rule, go!" The dog built a suspension bridge.
The judges were beside themselves. Which dog would they pick?
The lawyer said. "Loop-hole, go!" The dog ate the bones, got a percentage of all the
tolls3 from the bridge and screwed the other two dogs.
在一场狗秀的活动中,人们要选出一只世界上最聪明的狗。有三只狗进入了决赛,它们的主人分别是:医生,建筑师和律师。
最后的比赛是给每只狗一包骨头,看看它们能用这些骨头做些什么。医生说道:“听诊器,上!”这只狗搭了一个人体骨骼。
裁判们想立即给这只狗颁发奖品,但是他们还是决定给每只狗一次机会。
建筑师说道:“滑尺,上!”他的狗建造了一座悬桥。
裁判们左右为难,到底该选哪一只呢?
律师说道:“钻(法律)空子,上!”这只狗吃掉了骨头,对那座桥征收了百分之百的税,并向其他两只狗进行勒索。
