"I suppose you're right," said the man as he was dressing, "when you told me last night that there was a burglar in the house." "Why?" "Because all the money that was in my pocket is gone." "Well, if you'd been brave and got up and shot the burglar you'd have your money this morning?" "Possibly, but then I should have become a widower."

"어째서요?" "내 호주머니의 돈이 몽땅 없어졌으니 하는 말이오" "하면,당신이 용감하게 자리에서 일어나 그 도둑에게 총을 쐈다면 지금 그 돈은 그대로 있을 것 아니에요" "그랬을 수도 있겠지.하지만 홀아비 신세가 됐을 걸" 마누라는 그 돈의 절반을 내놓았다.
