7. You can't fool me

One day in the beginning of the 20th century, an old lady from the countryside came to the city and checked into1 a hotel. Then she said to the bellman, "I refuse to take a tiny2 room like this, with no window and no bed in it! You can't treat me like a fool just because I don't travel much! I am going to complain to the manager! "

So the bellman answered very politely, "Madam, this isn't your room. It's the elevator3!"

休想骗我

二十世纪初的一天，有一位乡下老太太进城，住进了一家宾馆。她对门童说：“我拒绝住这么小的房间，既没有窗户也没有床！不要以为我没去过多少地方就想骗我！我要向你们经理投诉！”

门童非常有礼貌地回答：“夫人，这不是您的房间，这是电梯！”
