An English traveler spent a few weeks in Sweden (瑞典). When he was about to return home he
found that he had only enough money left to get a ticket back to England. He decided to get home
without eating. So he bought a ticket with that little money and went on board.
He closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell, and when dinnertime came, he refused (拒绝)
to go down to the dinner-room.
The following day he did not get up until breakfast was over. At lunchtime, too, he kept out of the
way. But, by the time of dinner, he became very hungry.
"I can't stand this any longer," he said to himself. "I must get something to eat. "At a dinner table
he ate everything put in front of him. When he was quite satisfied (满意), he felt stronger (强壮) and
at once went to see the waiter.
"Bring me the bill." he said to the waiter.
"The bill?" said the waiter in surprise (吃惊).
"Yes." answered the traveler.
"There isn't any bill here," said the waiter. "On this ship, meals are already included (包括) in the ticket."
