　　A friend of mine was a frequent user of a pay telephone at a popular truck stop, and was greatly inconvenienced when the phone went out of commission.

　　Repeated requests for repair brought only promises.

　　After several days, the phone company was again contacted and told that there was no longer a rush.

　　The phone was now working fine---except that all money was being returned upon completion of each call.

　　A repairman arrived within the hour!

　　我的一个朋友经常在一个卡车停泊站使用那里的公用电话，所以当那个电话出了故障，就会给使用者们带来很大的不便。

　　人们一再地要求电话公司来修理电话，但对方只是一味地答应着，却一直没有派人来修。

　　几天后，他们又联系了电话公司，对方却叫他们不要着急。

　　现在，电话终于能正常使用了------除了一点以外，那就是每个电话打完以后所有的钱就会自动地退出来。

　　而这次，修理工不到一个小时就到了！
