People will do anything to see a free show -- even if it is a bad one. When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company, we all rushed to see it. We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began. Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed, as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come. The only funny things we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programme. He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. We all know what the poor man should have said, but what he actually said was: 'This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!"
人们会做任何事去看一场免费的演出——即使是坏的。当喜剧节目的消息传开后会在我们当地影院演出的消息传开后,我们都赶紧跑去观看。我们必须排几个小时的长队去肯定已有好几百人演出开始前。不幸的是,这次演出是我们所看过的最乏味的。那些没能进来的人不需要感到失望,因为很多应该出场的专业演员都没有来。我们听到的唯一有趣的事情,晚上从广告商开始时的方案。显然他神经十分紧张,他在麦克风前局促不安地站了好几分钟.当他打开他的嘴,每个人都大笑起来。我们都知道那位可怜的人应该说什么,但他实际上说的是:“这是poo和Ee食鸟公司。好女士们,晚上好!”
