相麵

跟網友聊天,說我會相麵,讓我想起一段趣事。
十年前,剛踏出國門,語言是一大問題,沒有托福,也沒有雅斯,英文是無級。還好老板是華人,溝通沒問題。
午餐輪班看門,因有顧客上門。
一天,我值班,一個錫克族人(singh)推門進來,對我說:
"your face looks very lucky."
"thanks, I know this.May I help you?" 我問。
"I am a face reader."
"Face reader? what's this?"
"see your face, know your things." He said.
"thanks,I don't think so."
然後,他講了一大堆,我也聽不懂。
一會兒,他拿出一個筆記本,打開捧在手裏,說:
"Pray money."
"Ok. God,please give this man a lot of money, as many as you can." 還做了個手勢,把錢放到它的筆記本裏。
我看到,在我禱告時,他也在禱告。即使我不信神,助人為樂嘛。
當我把禱告的錢往裏放時,他顯得怪怪的。
然後對我說:“money.”
"Give you ready,why ask again?"
"not this, money!"他說。
“The real money? no, this is for my lunch, if i give you, I have no money for my lunch." 我打開錢包給他看。
他看來很失望,推門要走,一腳外一腳門裏時,回頭又說:“money”
“no!"
他走後我想,為什麽這家夥讓我pray money for him.
一會兒自己大笑。
原來他要我 pay money, 不是 pray money.
