Dave worked in a factory, and he always made sandwiches in the morning, took them to work and ate them at midday.

On the first day, she made him some, and when he got home in the evening, she said to him, “Were the sandwiches all right?”
第一天,她给他做了一些,晚上他回家的时候,她对他说:“那些三明治好吃吗?”
“Oh, yes,” he answered, “but you only gave me two slices of bread.”
“哦,是的,”他回答,“但是你只给了我两片面包。”
The next day she gave him four slices, but he said again, “Four slices aren’t enough.”
第二天她给了他四片面包,但是他又说:“四片面包不够。”
The third day she gave him eight slices, but those were not enough for him either, so on the fourth day she took a loaf of bread, cut it in half and put a big piece of meat in it.
