Two men were walking home after a party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery. Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones. “Holy cow, Mister,” one of them said, “You scared us half to death—we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing here so late at night?” “Those fools!” the old man grumbled. “They misspelled my name!”
兩個男人開完晚會以后走回家去,他們決定從墓地抄近路。走到墓地的當(dāng)中,他們倆被從神秘的陰影里傳來的“答答答”的響聲嚇了一跳。他們戰(zhàn)戰(zhàn)兢兢地找到一個老頭,手里拿著錘子和鑿子在墓碑上鑿。他們中的一個說:“天哪!你把我們嚇得半死。我們以為你是鬼呢!半夜三更你在這里干什么?”老頭嘟嘟囔囔地說:“這幫笨蛋。他們把我的名字拼錯了。”
