The Irishman and the Boot-maker
The Irishman and the Boot-maker
An Irishman once
sent for a boot-maker, and gave orders for a pair of boots. When his measure was
taken, he told him that, as one of his legs was bigger than the other, the boots
must be made accordingly. As soon as they were sent home, he put the big boot on
the small leg, and after trying in vain the small boot on the big leg. He fell
into a great passion, and wrote to the poor boot-maker the following letter:
"Oh! You thief! I ordered you to make one boot bigger than the other, but
instead of that, you have made me one smaller than the
other!"
爱尔兰人和靴匠
一个爱尔兰人请来了制靴匠,要他定做一双靴子.当量完尺码后,他告诉鞋匠,他的一只脚比另一只脚大,靴子一定要照着做.当靴子做好送到他家后,他把大靴穿在小的那只脚上,再徒劳地试着把小靴穿在大的那只脚上.他大为震怒,于是写了封信给那可怜的制靴匠.信的内容如下:"喔!你这个贼!我要求你做成一只靴子要比一只大一点,而你做给我的反
倒是一只靴子比另一只小了."
