My plan was to build a garden walkway made up of wooden squares. I decided I'd slice railroad ties into two-inch-thick pieces. That's what I told the clerk at the lumberyard. “You got a power saw?” he asked. “No,” I said. “Can't I just use my hand saw?” He nodded slowly. “You could. But I just have one question. How old do you want to be when you finish?”
我的計(jì)劃是用木頭方塊鋪一條花園走道。我決定要把鐵路枕木鋸成兩寸厚的木塊。我就是這樣告訴木材場(chǎng)的職工的。他問(wèn)：“你有電動(dòng)鋸嗎？”我說(shuō)：“沒(méi)有。我不能用手工鋸嗎？”他慢慢地點(diǎn)頭說(shuō)：“你能用。不過(guò)我有一個(gè)問(wèn)題：你準(zhǔn)備多大年紀(jì)的時(shí)候完工？”
