A husband and wife are traveling by car from Brisbane to Melbourne . After almost ten hours on the road, they're too tired to continue and they decide to stop for a rest.
They stop at a nice hotel and take a room, but they only plan to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk; hands them a bill for $450.00.
The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel; the roo ms certainly aren't worth $450.00. When the clerk tells him $450.00 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the Manager.
The Manager appears, listens to the man, and then explains that the! hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were availablefor the husband and wife to use.
'But we didn't use them,' the man complains.
'Well, they are here, and you could have,' explains the Manager.
He goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. 'The best entertainers from New York , Hollywood , and Las Vegas perform here,' the Manager says.
'But we didn't go to any of those shows, 'complains the man again.
'Well, we have them, and you could have,' the Manager replies.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentions! the man replies, 'But we didn't use it!'
The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a cheque and gives it to the Manager.
The Manager is surprised when he l! ooks at the cheque.
'But sir,' he says, 'this cheque is only made out for $50.00.'
'That's correct,' says the man. 'I charged you $400 for sleeping with my wife.'
'But I didn't!' exclai ms the Manager.
'Well, too bad,' the man replies. 'She was here and you could have!'

看着铺满柏油的马路,相对平坦广阔,可是步行的方向却可以明显的知道并不是顺着路向,原因是那壁画的方向并不是处于路的尽头。
人生又何尝不是如此,美丽的事物并不会处于人生的尽头,在努力向前的同时,偶尔偏离...
