My friend Gilbert and some other truck drivers were to deliver loads of gravel out in the country.  The directions they were given said to go down a certain road and, when they came to a cow tied to a fence post, to turn right.
我朋友吉尔波特和一些卡车司机到农村去送沙石。他们得到的地址只说沿着某条路一直走，当看到一头牛拴在蒸笆柱上时，就向右转。

While Gilbert was driving along slowly，he came upon a farmer leading a cow down the road. Assuming this was his landmark, he stopped and asked the man where his cow had been tied. After Gilbert explained why he wanted to know， the farmer took the cow back and tied it to the post. All the loads got delivered.
正当吉尔波特开车续续前进时，他看见一位农夫牵着一头牛沿路而来。他猜测这就是他要找的地方。他停下了车问那位农夫，他的牛刚才拴在什么地方。在吉尔波特向农夫说明了他为什么想知道这个问题的答案之后，那位农夫把牛牵回来，把它拴在柱子止，所有的货都运到了此地。
