一周后,印度人又來(lái)告訴導(dǎo)演說(shuō):“明天刮風(fēng)。”果然,第二天刮起了一場(chǎng)大風(fēng)。

導(dǎo)演對(duì)印度人的智慧很滿意,覺(jué)得他是個(gè)超人,于是他告訴秘書(shū)雇傭該印度人來(lái)預(yù)報(bào)天氣,并答應(yīng)付給他很好的酬勞。
However, after several successful forecasts, the Indian didn't show up for two weeks.
幾次預(yù)報(bào)都很成功,可接下來(lái)的兩周,印度人卻再也沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)。

最后導(dǎo)演派人去把他叫來(lái)了。“我明天要拍一個(gè)很大的場(chǎng)景,”導(dǎo)演說(shuō),“全靠你了。明天天氣如何啊?”

印度人聳了聳他的肩膀。“我不知道,”印度人說(shuō),“收音機(jī)壞了,沒(méi)辦法聽(tīng)廣播了。”
