At the age of 16, Edely decided to leave home and join a theater company. His father was appalled, "A son of mine on the stage? It's a disgrace!" he wailed. "What if the neighbors find out?"
"I'll change my name," the comic-to-be volunteered. "

埃迪十六歲了,他決定離開家去參加一個(gè)劇團(tuán)。他的爸爸氣壞了。 “讓我的兒子上舞臺(tái)演戲?真丟臉!”他大叫道,“鄰居們知道了怎么想?”
“我會(huì)改一個(gè)名字。”這位未來的滑稽演員主動(dòng)提出。
“改名字!”他爸爸喊叫著,“那如果你出了名怎么辦?怎么讓鄰居們知道你就是我的兒子呢?”
