靈異故事:GECKO! GECKO! 2(咕咚！咕咚！2)

"What in the world?" Howard thought. He read on: "That's right! A gecko! Follow the directions below to get your very own live cockroach eliminator! Then ask our friendly staff how to care for and what to do to get rid of your cockroaches." "Ya right. That gecko will probably eat me while I sleep." he said as yet another roach scuttled across the floor. He felt sick. He thought it was worth a try, so the very next day he followed the directions on the ad to the pet store.
He asked about the geckos and the staff told him what to do with a gecko and how much they were and, soon enough, he was driving home with his very own gecko. "Great," he thought "yet another little critter that is going to be loitering around in my house."
He got home and did just as the woman at the store told him to do, and let the gecko go. He saw the gecko run under the refrigerator after the nearest cockroach it saw. "Well, at least he is doing his job." he said after he heard the loud "GECKO, GECKO," sound that geckos make when they swallow.
“這到底是什么呀?”霍華德一邊想著一邊繼續(xù)往下看，“沒(méi)錯(cuò)，就是壁虎!跟著下面這個(gè)地址，你就能擁有活生生的滅蟑器!我們熱情的員工會(huì)告訴你該怎樣飼養(yǎng)這種壁虎，到時(shí)你將再也不會(huì)受到蟑螂的困擾了。”“天哪，這么一只壁虎都能在我睡覺(jué)的時(shí)候把我給吃了!”他自言自語(yǔ)道，這時(shí)又有一只蟑螂從地板上快速的爬過(guò)去，他感到一陣惡心，隨即認(rèn)為值得去嘗試一下買只壁虎來(lái)，因此第二天馬上就按照地址來(lái)到了那家寵物商店。
他詢問(wèn)了關(guān)于壁虎的事情，店員告訴他關(guān)于飼養(yǎng)的注意事項(xiàng)以及價(jià)格方面的事情，過(guò)了沒(méi)一會(huì)兒他就和自己的壁虎開(kāi)車回家了。“太棒了，”他心里想，“馬上就會(huì)有另外一種小生物天天在家里溜達(dá)了。”
他到了家，按照商店女營(yíng)業(yè)員所說(shuō)的那樣把壁虎放了出來(lái)。壁虎看見(jiàn)了身旁最近的一只蟑螂后馬上就跟著鉆到冰箱底下去了，隨即他聽(tīng)見(jiàn)一陣很大的聲音“咕咚! 咕咚!”，像是壁虎吞下蟑螂的時(shí)候發(fā)出來(lái)的。“好，至少它已經(jīng)開(kāi)始工作了。
