I Always Win

Fred sometimes liked to go to a bar（酒吧）to have a drink before he went home after work．There were some tables and chairs in the bar，but it was too early for most people when Fred was there，so he seldom（很少）found anyone to talk to．

One evening he went into the bar and saw a man playing、draughts（跳棋）at a table，but he couldn’t find anyone in the chair opposite the man．He went near to look，and was very surprised to see that the man was playing against a dog．When it had to move one of its draughts，it stood on its back legs on the chair．Fred watched while the two played the game．At last the dog lost．Fred went up to its owner and said“I’ve never seen such a clever dog before．”

“Well．”answered the man．“he isn’t really very clever．I always win．”
