[懦性的人與緊心性的人]IDX

有一個懦性的人,買一雙新鞋,
遇著一個緊心性的人的時節,
緊心性的就問伊講:
"汝的此雙鞋,幾個錢與伊買的?"

彼個懦性的悠悠自在伸一腳,即應伊講:
"二元半了."

此個緊心性的聽見此句,就隨時
拿伊的奴才,愈打愈講:
"汝此個賊膽的,
 我叫汝買的此雙鞋,
 怎樣仔即五元銀?
 像汝私暗頭家的錢,
 如此實在是真可惡."

懦性的人對邊仔搔捋,即講:
"汝若要講甚麼話,著較聊仔是講,
 無事無情,免彼呢怒氣嗎."

如此講了,又安閑自在,伸一腳,
就講:
"老兄,一腳猶原是二元半了."

[A patient man and an impatient one]IDX

A patient man bought a pair of new shoes.
When he was met by an impatient man,
the latter then asked him:
"For this pair of shoes, how much money did you (use to) buy it?"

The patient man slowly streched out one of his feet with composure, 
and then replied him:
"Two and a half dollars."

Upon hearing the reply, the impatient man immediately
(started) to beat his servant while saying:
"You, a thief in heart.
 I asked you to buy this pair of shoes.
 Why did it cost five dollars?
 For people like you who stole the master's money in secret,
 it is really condemnable (to do it) this way."

The patient man waited a while on the side, and then said:
"When you want to say something, you should take your time to say it.
 There is nothing real big.  Please don't be so angry."

Saying so, he again slowly stretched out the other foot with composure,
and said:
"Dear friend, (the shoe on) the other foot still costs 
 (another) two and a half dollars."
