Mỉa mai thay
English Ẩn / hiện bản dịch
What an Irony
Two men waiting at the gates of heaven were talking.
"How did you die?"
"I froze to death."
"How strange. What's that like?"
"Terrible at first. You shiver, and your fingers and toes hurt. Eventually it eases. You go numb, then drift off for good. What about you?"
"A heart attack. I knew my wife was cheating on me, so one day I came home unexpectedly. I rushed into the bedroom, but she was alone, knitting. I ran to the basement. Nobody there. I raced upstairs. Nobody there either. Then I ran to the attic as fast as I could. As soon as I got there, I had a heart attack and died."
The man who had frozen shook his head. "What an irony. If you'd checked the refrigerator, we'd both still be alive."
