Mr.Jack came to an inn on a very cold day, and could get no room near the fire.
He called to the hostler to fetch a peck of oysters, and give them to his horse.
"Will your horse eat oysters?"said the hostler.
"Try him."said Mr. Jack.
Immediately the people ran to see this wonder, and Mr. Jack who alone remained in the room, chose the best seat by the fire and made himself comfortable.
怎样在火炉旁找个好座位
在一个寒冷的冬天，杰克先生来到一家小客栈，发现火炉旁边已经没有空位了。
于是，他让旅店的伙计去拿些牡蛎来喂他的马。
“您的马吃牡蛎吗？”伙计问道。
“你试着喂喂吧。”杰克先生回答。
顷刻间，人们都跑去看这一奇观，杰克先生则独自呆在屋里，他在火炉旁找了个最好的座位，舒舒服服地坐在那儿取暖了。
