Clinton asked the boys how he could ever repay him.The first boy said,“I want a boat.”

The second boy said,“I want a truck.”

And the third boy said,“I want three tombstones with all our names on them.”

Clinton asked,“Why is that,son?”

The little boy said,“Because when my Dad finds out that we save you,he is going to kill all of us!”

克林顿问他怎么才能回报他们。第一个男孩说:“我想要条船。”

第二个男孩说:“我想要辆卡车。”
