第二篇：I have Got No Money
It was very hot last Wednesday. A big, strong man went into a bar, sat down, called the waiter, “Give me a bottle of beer before the trouble starts.”
The waiter was busy with other people, so he did not say anything, but he gave the man a bottle of beer, the man drank it quickly. Then he called the waiter again, “Give me another one before the trouble starts.” Again the waiter was too busy to say anything, so he gave the man another beer. The man drank it, too.
Then again he called the waiter, “One more bottle of beer before the trouble starts!” this time the waiter was not very busy, so when he brought the man his third bottle of beer, he said to him, “What troubles are you talking about?” the man shouted, “I have got no money.”
Note:
