A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him.
"Pardon me," she said. "I'm sorry if my staring1 at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look just like my son, who died recently."
"I'm very sorry," replied the young man, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes," she said, "as I'm leaving, would you say 'Goodbye, mother?' It would make me feel so much better."
"Sure," answered the young man.
As the old woman was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye, Mother!" Then, as he stepped up to the checkout2 counter3, he saw that his total was $127. "How can that be?" he asked. "I only purchased4 a few things!"
The clerk replied, "Your mother said you'd pay for her."
 
一名十六岁少年穿过一个超级市场的时候，他看到一个老太太追随他。 
“对不起，”她说。“我很抱歉，如果我的凝望你已使你感到不舒服。只是你看就像我的儿子，他最近去世。”
“我很抱歉”，青年男子回答说 ，“有什么我可以为您做？”
“是的，”她说，“当我离开的时候，你会不会说‘再见了，妈妈’呢？这会令我感到好多了。”
“当然可以”年轻的男子回答说。 
在老妇人离开时，他喊道， "再见，妈妈！ "然后，他去柜台付帐，看到了他的总数是127美元。 "怎么能这样" ？他问道。 "我只购买了几件东西" ！ 
柜台回答说： "你妈妈说你替她支付。"
