“ I want you to help me stop my son gambling. ” an anxious father said to his boy's principal. “ I don't know where he gets it from, but it's bet, bet, bet. ”
“ Leave it to me, ” said the principal.
A week later he phoned the boy's father. “ I think I've cured him,” he said.
“ How? ”
“ Well, I saw him looking at my beard and he said, ” I bet that's a false beard, “ How much? I said, and he said $ 5 ”
“ What happened ? ” asked the father.
“ Well he tugged my beard which is quite natural and I made him give me $5. I'm sure that'll teach him a lesson! ”
“ No, it won't,” said the father. “He bet me $10 on Monday that he'd pull your beard with your permission by the end of the week! ”

一周后,他打電話給男孩的父親。 “ 我想我已使他改邪歸正。 ” 他說(shuō)。
“ 怎么辦到的? ”
“ 噢,他看著我的胡子,然后說(shuō): ‘ 我打賭那是假胡子。 ' ‘ 賭多少錢? ' 我問(wèn),他說(shuō) 5 美元。 ”
“ 后來(lái)怎樣? ” 父親問(wèn)道。
“ 于是他拉扯了我的胡子后,知道那是貨真價(jià)實(shí)的,我就要他給我 5 美元。我敢肯定我給了他一個(gè)教訓(xùn)。 ”
“ 不行,那沒用。 ” 父親說(shuō)。 “ 星期一他和我賭了 10 美元,說(shuō)周末他可以讓你允許他拔你的胡子! ”
