When they come to a stoplight, drivers sometimes look at the people in other cars. Mr. Beren noticed that a man in the car next to him had a large green parrot on the passenger seat. The parrot seemed to be talking. When the man rolled down his window, Mr. Beren was surprised to hear that the bird wasn't talking but barking. The owner leaned out his window and explained, "He lives with three golden retrievers, and he thinks he's a dog." The light changed, and Mr. Beren chuckled all the way home.

《Spelling Matters》

Poor spellers shouldn't try to sell things through online ads.

Suppose you want to sell a camera on eBay, but your ad says

"Camra for Sale" Buyers looking for cameras aren't likely

to find your ad. However, some clever buyers are on the lookout for misspelled ads written by careless sellers. When they find one, they offer a low bid. Since no one else is bidding for the item, the seller is likely to let the item go for a low price.

Often, the smart buyers then turn around and sell the item for more-through an ad that's spelled correctly!

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart.

世界上最好、最美麗的東西是看不見的，甚至是摸不著的──它們必須用心去感受
