629　Old Man and the Chicken 老人和鸡

For years I've been getting a terrific rotisserie chicken from a nearby restaurant. One night as I placed an order to go, I told the girl behind the counter, “I'll pick it up later. Do you want my name?” “Oh, no,” she said. “I've seen you come in here a lot.” Then she scribbled something on a piece of paper. Feeling flattered, I happily went out. When I grabbed my order, I glanced at her note on the bag: “Old man in the pink shirt.”

许多年来，我一直在附近的一家餐馆里买美味的旋转炉烤鸡。一天晚上，我订了一只鸡要带走。我告诉账台小姐：“我过一会儿来取。要不要留我的名字？”小姐说：“不用了。我经常看见你来这儿。”然后她在一张纸上面草草写了几个字。我觉得受到了奉承，高高兴兴地走了。当我回来取货的时候，看到她贴在口袋上的纸条：“穿粉红色衬衣的老头。”
