In a cigar store, a well-dressed man was lighting a cigar, 在一家雪茄店里,一个衣着讲究的男人正在点雪茄,

his silk umbrella left by the door. 把绸面雨伞随手放在了门边。

Soapy picked it up and strolled off. 苏比拿上伞,慢悠悠地溜达走了。

The man hurried after him. 那男人急忙追了上去。

"My umbrella," he said sternly. “那是我的伞,”他严肃地说道。

"Oh, is it?" “哦,是吗?”

sneered Soapy. 苏比冷笑道。

"Then why don't you call a policeman? “那你干嘛不叫警察?

I took it. 就是我拿的。

There's a cop right there on the corner." 拐角那儿不就站着个警察嘛。”

The man slowed down. 那男人放慢了脚步。

So did Soapy, 苏比也慢了下来,

with a feeling that luck was about to turn against him again. 心里隐隐觉得运气又要跟自己作对了。

"Well," said the man, "you know how these mistakes happen. “呃,”那人说,“你也知道,这种弄错的事常有。

If it's your umbrella, I hope you'll excuse me. 要是你的伞,还请你多包涵。

I picked it up this morning in a restaurant." 这是我今天早上在餐馆顺手拿的。”

"Of course it's mine," snapped Soapy. “当然是我的!”苏比没好气地呛道。

The man hurried away. 那男人急急忙忙地走开了。

Everyone, it turns out, has something to hide. 原来,每个人心里都有鬼。

Soapy hurled the umbrella into a construction pit, 苏比一把将雨伞狠狠扔进了一个施工坑里,

and cursed every policeman in the city. 把全城的警察都骂了个遍。
