A party of visitors were being shown round a lunatic asylum．They came across one individual in the grounds，with wild eyes，dishevelled hair，feverishly endeavouring to catchflies and keep them in his pocket．

“His was a sad case，”said the attendant．“Whilst he was at the war his wife abandoned his home and ran off with another man．”

“Terrible，”said a visitor．

Presently they came to a padded cell，in which could be heard a raging as of a wild beast．

“That's the other man，”said the attendant．

20．两个男人

一群游客被领着参观一所疯人院。在院子里他们遇见一个人，他长着一双疯狂的眼睛，头发蓬乱，正狂热地设法逮住苍蝇，把它们装在他的口袋里。

“他的病很惨，”陪同人说。“在他当兵打仗的时候，他的妻子抛下他的家和另一个男人私奔了。”

“真可怕，”一个游客说。

不久他们来到一间安上软垫的小屋前，听见里面传出野兽般的怒吼。

“这就是那另一个男人，”陪同人说。
