A Cigarette for Grandpa
爷爷的香烟
His wife asked him to buy a cigarette. "Excuse me?" he asked. "Since when do you smoke?" She said it was for the Chinese New Year. Her dead grandfather used to smoke. The cigarette was for grandpa. He went to the newsstand. He asked how much a pack of cigarettes was. It was $11. He asked how much the cheapest pack was. It was $10. He asked if they sold single cigarettes. They didn't. He didn't want to spend $10 on a whole pack of cigarettes. His wife had asked for only one cigarette. A woman nearby was smoking a cigarette. "Excuse me," he said. "Can I buy a cigarette from you for a dollar?" He offered her a dollar bill. She gave him a cigarette. She refused his money. He felt lucky. He had gotten a free cigarette. And it was a Marlboro—the best! Grandpa would like that.
他的妻子让他买包香烟。他问道：“什么，你什么时候开始抽烟的？”她说这是为了中国的春节。她去世的爷爷曾经抽烟。烟是为爷爷准备的。他前往了报刊亭。他询问了一包烟的价钱。11美元。他询问了最便宜的烟多少钱。10美元。他问道是否销售一支烟。他们不卖。他不想花10美元买整包烟。他的妻子只要一支烟。站在旁边的女性正在抽烟。他问道：“对不起，我能花1美元来买你一支烟吗？”他给了她1美元。她给了他一支烟。她没有要钱。他感到非常幸运。他得到了一只免费烟。烟还是最好的万宝路！爷爷会喜欢的。
