介绍:
The two old gentlemen were brothers. For several days, they argued about a very strange subject. They decided to end their argument with a bet, as the English usually do. The following was the subject of the bet.
The Bank of England issued two banknotes of a million pounds each for a public transaction with a foreign country. England used one banknote and the other remained in the bank.
At this point, Brother A said to Brother B, "If an honest and intelligent stranger arrives in London without a friend and without money, except for the ￡1,000,000 banknote, he will starve to death."
Brother B answered, "No! I don't agree."
Brother A said, "If he goes to the bank or anywhere else to change this big note, the police will put him in prison. Everyone will think he stole it."
When they saw me from the window, they thought I was the right man. They asked me questions, and soon they knew my story. Finally, they told me I was the right man for the bet.
I was confused and I wanted to discuss the subject with them. But they didn't. I felt hurt because I was the subject of a joke.
