The manager of a small building company was very surprised to get a bill for two white mice which one of his workmen had bought. He sent for the workman and asked him why he had bought the two mice.

"Well," the workman answered, "You remember the house we were repairing in Newcastle last week,don't you? One of the things we had to do there at that time was to put in some new electric wiring. Well, in one place we had to pass some wires through a pipe thirty feet long and about an inch across, which was built into solid stone and had four big bends in it. None of us could think how to do this until I had a good idea. I went to a shop and bought two white mice, one of them male and the other female. Then I tied a thread to the body of the mate mouse and put him into the pipe at one end, while Bill held the female mouse at the other end and pressed her gently to make her squeak. When the male mouse heard the female mouse's squeaks, he rushed along the pipe to help her.I suppose he was a gentleman even though he was only a mouse.Anyway, as he ran through the pipe, he pulled the thread behind him. It was then quite easy for us to tie one end of the thread totheelectric wires andpullthemthroughthe pipe."

After listening to this story, the manager felt the workman was really very smart and happily paid the bill.

一个小建筑公司的经理收到一份要求为两只白鼠付账的账单。他感到很吃惊。白鼠是他的一个工人买的。他派人叫来那个工人，问他为什么买了两只老鼠。

工人回答：“您还记得上周我们在纽卡斯尔修的那所房子吧?当时我们给房子装一些新电线，其中有几根要穿入一根三十英尺一英寸宽的管子。管子嵌在坚硬的石头里，里面还拐了四个弯儿。没人知道该怎么把电线穿过去，后来我想了一个好办法。我到商店买了两只小白鼠，一只公的，一只母的。然后我在公鼠身上绑上一根线，把公的放在管子的一端，比尔在另一端抓着母鼠。轻轻按压让母鼠吱吱地叫。公鼠听到了母鼠的叫声，就快速穿过管子前去营救。尽管是老鼠，我仍认为它是个绅士。不管怎么说，它穿过管子，把身后的线也拉了过去。这样我们就可以把线的一端系在电线上，轻易地把电线拉过管子了。”

听了这个故事，经理觉得这个工人真是聪明，就欣然付了帐。
