The man in the jail asked a newcomer why he was imprisoned there.
The newcomer replied,"I think I was out of luck. A few days ago I was walking in the street when I saw a piece of rope. I thought no one wanted it, so I picked it up and took it home. "
"But it was not against the law! "
"I told you I was out of luck, didn't I? "the man sighed,"The trouble was that I didn't notice there was an ox at the other end of that rope. "
运气不好
牢房里，一个人问新来的犯人为什么被关在那里。
新来的犯人回答说：“我想我是运气不好。几天前，我正在街上走时，看到一截绳子，以为没有人要，就拾起来，带回了家。”
“可这不违法啊！”
“我告诉过你我运气不好，对吗？”那个人叹道，“问题是我没有注意到绳子那头还有一头牛。”
