A woman goes into the local newspaper office to see  

that the obituary for her recently  deceased  husband is 

written. The obit. editor informs her that the fee for the 

obituary is 50 cents a word. She pauses, reflects and 

then says, Well then, let it read "Fred Brown died."

  Amused at the woman's  thrift , the editor tells her 

that there is a 7 word minimum for all obituaries. Only a 

little flustered, she thinks thing over and in a few seconds 

says, In that case, let it read, "Fred Brown died: 1983 Pickup 

for sale."

 

Key  words:

obituary    (n.)訃聞  

deceased (adj.)已故的

reflect (v.)仔細想

thrift (n.)節約:節儉

pickup (n.)小貨車
