（单词翻译:单击）

Delivering a speech at a banquet on the night of his arrival in a large city, a visiting minister told several anecdotes1 he expected to repeat at meetings the next day.

Because he wanted to use the jokes again, he requested the reporters to omit them from any accounts they might turn in to their newspapers.

A cub2 reporter, in commenting on the speech, ended his piece with the following: "The minister told a number of stories that cannot be published."
