"I'm very sorry," replied the young man, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes," she said, "as I'm leaving, would you say 'Goodbye, mother?' It would make me feel so much better."
"Sure," answered the young man.
As the old woman was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye, Mother!" Then, as he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127. "How can that be?" he asked. "I only purchased a few things!"
The clerk replied, "Your mother said you'd pay for her."

“我很抱歉”,青年男子回答說 ,“有什么我可以為您做?”
“是的,”她說,“當(dāng)我離開的時候,你會不會說‘再見了,媽媽’呢?這會令我感到好多了。”
“當(dāng)然可以”年輕的男子回答說。
在老婦人離開時,他喊道, "再見,媽媽! "然后,他去柜臺付帳,看到了他的總數(shù)是127美元。 "怎么能這樣" ?他問道。 "我只購買了幾件東西" !
柜臺回答說: "你媽媽說你替她支付。"
