A Businessman's Idea 商人的主意

A family moved from the city to the suburbs, and were told they ought to get a watchdog to guard their house.

 

So they bought the largest dog available from a near-by dealer¹.

 

Shortly afterwards the house was broken into at night by burglars while the dog was asleep. The householder went to the dealer and told him about it.

 

"Well, what you need now," said the dealer, "is a little dog to wake up the dog."

 

一户人家从城里搬到郊区，有人告诉他们应该买一条看门狗来守家。

 

于是他们就去附近的一个商人那里买了一条最大的狗。

 

不久之后，夜贼闯进他们家时那条狗却一直在睡觉。这家的主人去找那个商人告诉他这件事。

 

“那么，”商人说，“你们现在还需要一条小狗来叫醒这条狗。”
