Once there lived an old man in a town. He always forgot things. So then he went out, his wife always said to him, "Don's forget this."One day he went on a long trip alone. He went to the station and bought a ticket. Then he boarded the train. About an hour later, the conductor began to check tickets. He came to the old man and said, "Will you please show me your ticket?"The old man looked for his ticket in all his pockets, but he could not find it. "I surely bought a ticket, but I cannot find it,"said the old man. "I believe you bought a ticket. All right. You don's have to buy another ticket" said the conductor kindly, but the old man still looked worried and said, "If I don's find my ticket, I cannot remember my station. Where am I going?"

一个健忘的人
从前, 在一个镇里住着一位老人。他总是忘记事情。所以当他出门时, 他的妻子总是对他说, “不要忘记这个。” 一天, 他要独自出趟远门。他去火车站买了票。 随后, 他上了火车。 大约一小时后, 乘务员开始查票。他走到老人面前说：“可以把你的票给我看一下吗？”老人翻遍了口袋, 怎么也找不到他的票。“我肯定买了票, 但我找不到了。”老人说。“我相信你买了票。好吧。你不用补票了。”乘务员和善地说。但是老人看上去仍然非常着急, 他说：“如果我找不到我的票, 我就记不起该在哪个站下车。我是要去哪里呢？”
