a lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat. as she was very fussy, it took her a long time to pick on one. already at the end of his patience the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her: an excellent choice, madam. you look at least ten years younger with this hat on! to his dismay, the lady took off her hat at once and said: i don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as i take it off. show me some more hats!

买帽子
一位妇女到一家帽子店买帽子。她很挑剔，用了很长时间才选好了一顶。已经忍耐到极限的售货员害怕她再改变主意，便恭维她：你做了极好的选择，夫人。你戴上这顶帽子看上去起码年轻十岁！但令他沮丧的是，这位女士马上摘下了她的帽子说：我不想要一顶摘下来便使我立刻显得老十岁的帽子。多拿一些帽子给我看看！
