(单词翻译:单击)

  A RICH Man wanted to tell a certain lie, but the lie was of such
monstrous1 size that it stuck in his throat; so he employed an
Editor to write it out and publish it in his paper as an editorial. 
But when the Editor presented his bill, the Rich Man said:

  "Be content - is it nothing that I refrained from advising you
about investments?"
