Once a man named Henry found a box of old papers in a room.
He burnt most of them,for he didn’t like old things very much.But one of these papers was an old letter.It was written by a famous writer.“When this letter was written,” said Henry,“ No one knew about the writer.But now everyone knows him.Some people like to buy and keep letters like this.I will get a lot of money for this letter if I sell it to the right man.”
There were a lot of dirty marks all over the letter.He thought,“It doesn’t look nice .No one wants to buy a letter if it’s dirty.” So he cleaned the letter carefully .At last it looked new and he was pleased.He took the letter to a shop in New York.He knew that old papers of this kind were bought and sold there.
The man in the shop looked at the letter for a long time.Then he said,“I’ll give you ten dollars.” “Only ten dollars?” said Henry.“But people pay a thousand for a letter like this.I’ve cleaned it and made it look nice.” “I can see that,” said the man,“That’s the problem .People who buy old papers like them to be dirty.”
一天一个名叫亨利发现一盒在一个房间里的旧文件.
他烧了他们中的大多数,因为他不太喜欢旧东西.但这些文件是一个古老的信.它是由一个著名作家写的.“当这封信是,”亨利说,“没有人知道关于作者.但现在每个人都认识他.有些人喜欢买和保持这样的信.我要挣很多钱,这封信如果我卖给合适的人.”
有很多脏的痕迹遍布的信.他认为,“它不好看.没有人想买这么脏的信.”于是他打扫了信.最后,他很高兴看到新的.他拿着这封信在纽约店.他知道这种旧文件的买进和卖出的有.
商店里的人长时间看着信.然后他说,“我会给你十美元.”“仅十美元吗?“亨利说.“但人们一千这样的信.我已经打扫干净,使它看起来很漂亮.”“我知道,”那人说,“这就是问题所在.那些购买旧报纸喜欢他们是肮脏的.”
