绝配
A wealthy matron is so proud of a valuable antique vase that she decides to have her bedroom painted the same color as the vase. Several painters try to match the shade, but none comes close enough to satisfy the eccentric woman.
Eventually, a painter approaches who is confident he can mix the proper color. The woman is pleased with the result, and the painter becomes famous.
Years later, he retires and turns the business over to his son.″Dad,″says the son,″there's something I've got to know. How did you get those walls to match the vase so perfectly?″
″Son,″the father replies,″I painted the vase.″
有位贵妇为拥有一个珍稀古董花瓶而深以为荣,甚至执意把卧室也要漆成和花瓶一样的颜色。有几位漆匠来试着调配底色,但没一个能调到让这个乖僻女人足够满意的程度。
最后来了位漆匠,声称有把握能调出合适的颜色。结果女人很满意,漆匠也一举成名。
若干年后,漆匠退休,把生意交给儿子。
“爸,”儿子说,“有件事我非弄明白不可,您是怎么把那几面墙刷成和花瓶颜色完全一致的?”
“孩子啊,”父亲答道,“我把那花瓶给漆了一遍。”
