Another Trick 又一个小花招

Mike was a frequent user of a pay telephone at a popular truck stop, and was greatly inconvenienced when the phone went out of commission. Repeated requests for repair brought only promises. After several days, Mike again contacted the phone company and told them there was no longer a rush. The phone was now working fine... except that all money was being returned upon completion of each call. A repairman arrived within the hour.

麦克经常使用一个繁忙的卡车停车场上的投币电话。这个电话坏了，使他觉得很不方便。好几次让电话公司来修，但只是口头应付。几天以后，麦克又找电话公司，告诉他们不用着急，电话已经能用了。只是打完电话之后，所有投进去的钱又都退回来了。不到一小时，一名修理工就赶到了。
