(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

The farmer and his wife had worked hard, they scrimped and saved to send their son to college. As soon as he had enrolled¹, he started to grow a beard. Next he grew a large mustache and sideburns. Being pleased with his new hirsute² adornment³, he had his picture taken and sent it off to his parents.

On the back of the photo he scrawled⁴, "How do you like it? Don't I look like a count?"

Shortly after, the son received this terse⁵ note: "You idiot, it cost us a fortune to send you to college, and you can't even spell!"
