The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen. After several minutes, the older worker had had enough. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back." "You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got." The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right. Get in."
一个建筑工地的健壮的年轻人吹牛说他在力气上能胜过所有人, 他还特别和其中的一个老工人开了玩笑. 过了几分钟, 那个老工人受够了, "为什么你不为你吹牛的事情来打赌呢." 他说," 我赌一个星期的薪水我可以把一辆独轮车推到外屋,而你却拉不进来." "就和你赌,老家伙,"吹牛的人回答.
"那就让我们看看怎么样吧."
老工人把车推到外屋,抓住独轮车的把手,然后对年轻人点点头,说;"好了,拉进去吧."
