A small man with a fat stomach got on the train at the last station before the frontier (边境). He
carried a paper bag. And four feet of ducks could be seen under the cover. The man found an empty
seat, put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read. Then a policeman
came in. Of course he saw the bag with ducks' legs at once and said, "Whose is that bag?" Nobody
answered. The policeman repeated the question, and said, "I'll have to take it away from the owner.
Food mustn't be taken out of the country." "Well, then," said the small man with a fat stomach. "Hurry
up and take it. We want to go home." The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage.
At the next station, when they were safely across the frontier, the small man got up, smiled at the
other passengers and said, "I hope they'll enjoy the ducks' feet. The rest in the bag was nothing but
rubbish." Then he opened his coat and pointed to another bag he was carrying under it. It was tied
tightly (紧紧地) over the stomach, which was not really fat. "The rest of the ducks is here," he said
with a smile on his face. With these words, he got off the train. But while he was happily walking to
the exit with the bag in his hands, a policeman came up to him, saying, "Hey, man! Foreign food
mustn't be brought in."
