名演员的最后一次机会
<p>
<p>There was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After many years he finds a theatre where they are prepared to give him a chance to shine again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> The director says, "This is the most important part, and it has only one line. You walk on to the stage at the opening carrying a rose. You hold the rose to
your nose with just one finger and thumb, sniff the rose deeply and then say theline ‘Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress.‘"</p>
<p> </p>
<p> The actor is thrilled. All day long before the play he‘s practicing his line over and over again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, and with great passion delivered the line, "Ah, the sweet aroma of my
mistress."</p>
<p> </p>
<p> The theatre erupted, the audience was screaming with laughter and the director was steaming!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> "You bloody fool!" he cried, "You have ruined me!"</p>
<p> The actor was bewildered, "What happened, did I forget my line?"</p>
<p> "No!" screamed the director. "You forgot the rose!" </p>
