A traveler came to a small Middle Western town. He decided¹ to stay for a few days.

 

When he was about to write his name on the hotel register, he saw a bedbug crawling across the page.

 

"It is really unbearable," he said, flinging down the pen. "I've been bitten by fleas³ in Missouri, mosquitos in Jersey⁴, horse flies in Kansas-but this is the first place I was ever in where a bug² looked over the hotel register to find out the number of my room. Why, where on earth I should go!"

 

有个旅行家来到中西部的一个小市镇。他决定留下待几天。

 

当他正要在旅店的登记薄上签名时，看到有个臭虫从单子上爬过去。
