One day a bus stopped at a tourist spot, and all the
passengers got out and went into a nearby restaurant.
  One of them walked up to the manager and said, “Good
morning. I am Tom Wilkins. These people are all patients at the
City Psychiatric Hospital. They are having their annual bus trip.
They will all behave very well, but there is one small problem.
They will want to pay for their food and drink with bottle caps. I’ll
be grateful if you will let them do this, then let me have the bill
just before we leave.”
  The manager wanted to be helpful, so he said, “That will be

fine, sir. I hope you will all enjoy yourselves in my restaurant.”
  The patients all sat down. They ordered their food and
drink, and behaved very well. No one knew they were patients
at a psychiatric hospital.
  At the end of the meal, each of them paid his or her bill
with bottle caps.
  Then they left the restaurant and got back on the bus.
  Tom Wilkins went up to the manager. “You’ve been most
kind,” he said, “and understanding. I’ll pay the bill now.”
  The manager added up everything the patients had
ordered, and gave the total to Tom. It came to quite a lot of
money.
  “That’s a fair price,” Tom said. “I’m happy to pay that. Have
you got change for six bottles?”

  一天，一辆巴士停在一个旅游景点，所有的乘客都下了车，走进附近一
家餐馆。
  其中一个人跟经理打招呼：“早上好！我叫汤姆·威尔克斯。这些人都
是市精神病院的病人。他们每年都有一次汽车旅游。他们表现很好，但是有
一个小问题，他们得用瓶盖来付款。如果你允许他们这么做，我将不胜感
激。在离开前，我会结账的。”
  经理也想帮助他们，因此说：“那好吧，先生。我希望你们用餐愉
快。”
  所有的病人都入座了。他们点了食物和饮料，表现得很好。几乎没人看
得出他们是精神病人。
  吃完饭后，他们都起身用瓶盖付账。
  然后他们离开餐馆回到巴士上。
  汤姆·威尔克斯来到经理面前。“你心地很善良，”他说，“也很善解
人意。结账吧！”
  经理把账单递给了汤姆。那是很大一笔钱。
  “价钱还比较合理，” 汤姆说，“我愿意支付。我付给你六个瓶子，你
能找零吗？”
