A Very Patient Pooch
(Originally in English)
There was a barber in a developing country who had a little
shed at the roadside to cut hair, and a certain man used to
come in regularly for haircuts. One day he noticed that a dog
was always sitting underneath, near the chair where the
customers sat for their haircuts. So the man asked the
barber, "Is that your dog?" And the barber replied, "No, he
always comes every day. It's not my dog. I don't know
whose dog it is." Then the customer asked, "So if it's not
your dog, you never feed him, right?" And the barber said,
"No." And the customer said, "Then why does he always
come here every day?" And the barber answered, "He's
waiting in case an ear comes off."

静待良机
一处简陋的乡下，一位理发师傅在路边的小棚子帮人理发。有位经常
来理发的男士，注意到有一只狗老是喜欢坐在客人的座椅旁边，于是
他问师傅：「那是你的狗吗？」师傅答：「不，不是我的狗，我不知
道那是谁的狗，不过，它每天都会来。」那个客人又问：「不是你的
狗，那你从来没有喂过它吗？」师傅回答：「没有。」客人又问：
「那它为什么每天都来？」师傅回答：「它在等看看有没有耳朵掉下来。」
