【推荐2】Three men were sentenced to three years in prison (监狱). The guard agreed to satisfy each a need.

The first man liked smoke so he asked for three boxes of cigars (雪茄).

The second man was the most romantic (浪漫的) among them all. He wanted a beautiful lady.

The last one, however, would like to have a phone connecting with the outside society.

Three years later, the first man rushed out of the prison, with his hands full of cigars, shouting, “Give me fire! Give me fire!” He turned out to forget to ask for fire.

Then there came the second man. He was seen to hold a child in his arms. The beautiful lady was followed by one child, too, holding the third one.

The last one held the guard’s hand and said, “Thanks to the telephone, I have been keeping in contact with the outside society these three years. My business didn’t stop. It has increased by 200%. So I’ll send you a Rolls-Royce car as a gift to show my thankfulness.”
