The Paint Job
Danny’s fence needed painting. He wanted to paint it white. He looked in the phone book. He looked under “P” for Painters. He called up a painter. “How much to paint my fence?” he asked. “How big is your fence?” the painter asked. “It goes all the way around my yard,” Danny said. “How big is your yard?” the painter asked. “My yard is half as big as a football field,” Danny said. The painter said $300. “It will cost $300,” he said. That was a good deal. Danny said, “That’s a good deal.” The painter came over the next day. He painted Danny’s fence white. It took him only three hours. Danny looked at his white fence. He liked it. “You did a good job,” he said to the painter. “My white fence looks great. How long will this paint last?” “It will last a lifetime,” said the painter.
丹尼的护栏需要粉刷。他想刷成白色。他打开电话簿。找到“P”开头的粉刷匠。他打了电话。他问道：“粉刷护栏多少钱？”粉刷匠问道：“你的护栏多达？”丹尼说：“环绕整个院子。”他又问道：“院子多达？”丹尼说：“半个足球场那么大。”粉刷匠说三百美金。他说：“那样的话是三百美金。”价钱还可以。丹尼说：“成交。”粉刷匠第二天到来。他将丹尼的护栏刷成了白色。仅用时三小时。丹尼看着他白色的护栏。他非常喜欢。他对粉刷匠说：“你干得不错。白色护栏看起来不错。颜色能持续多长时间？”粉刷匠说：“终生不会掉色。”
