337　Two Candidates 兩個候選人

Two candidates for political office inadvertently scheduled simultaneous campaign rallies in the same park. After a lengthy round of speeches, the candidates worked their way through the crowd—shaking hands, kissing babies, etc. Suddenly, the skies opened and it began to rain. One of the candidates fled to take shelter in a nearby restaurant along with half a dozen regulars. The other candidate, however, continued to move through the crowd—shaking hands, kissing babies, etc. “That man's persistence yonder,” observed one of the natives, “sure makes it easy to know who to vote for.” “Yep,” another native agreed. “Sure can't see myself casting a vote for a man who doesn't have the good sense to come in out of the rain.”
