he was sweating on top of the roof
trying to fix a leaky tile

a mate of his turned up at his front gate
the guy curled an index finger in front of his face
with not a word signaled him to come down
he climbed down his ladder
his mate leaned closer
and whispered into his ear:
– Mate, can you spare me twenty?

he didn’t reply

he proceeded to climb up the ladder
once he was back on the roof with his leaky tile
he turned to his mate at the front gate
curled his index finger and beckoned his mate to climb up
once they were eye to eye
he leaned into his mate’s ear and said quietly:
– No

LỊCH SỰ

hắn đang hì hục sửa lại cái mái nhà .

bạn đến , đứng dưới sân , ngoắc hắn .
hắn leo xuống .
bạn kề vào tai hắn , nói rất nhỏ :
– ” có tiền không ? cho mượn một ít ! “

hắn làm thinh .

leo lên lại chỗ cũ , hắn ngoắc bạn .
bạn leo lên .
hắn kề vào tai bạn , nói rất nhỏ :
– ” không có ! “
