My secretary began to post unusual news articles,cartoons and pictures of faraway lands on our office bulletin board. Although she changed the items on a regular basis,no one mentioned her efforts.Eventually she put up a notice stating that she would give one dollar to the first person who read the announcement and informed her about it. Two weeks later, she received her first acknowledgement,a handwritten reply left on her desk:"I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your interesting bulletin board. The Cleaning Lady.”
我的秘书开始在我们办公室的布告栏里张贴一些奇持的新闻、卡通和风景画等。按时更换,但从未有人提到过她所做出的努力。终于她贴出了一张告示说,谁要是第一个看到她贴的通知,就可以告诉她,那个人就能从她那里得到一美元。两周后,她接到了第一个正式的通知。在她的桌上留着一张字条:“我只想让你知道,我非常喜欢看那有趣的布告栏。清洁工。”
