A story

As a speech pathologist, I often ask patients to tell me a personal story in order to get them to open up. Here's one man's tale:

"My friend wanted a boat more than anything. His wife kept refusing, but he bought one anyway. 'I'll tell you what,' he told her. 'In the spirit of compromise, why don't you name the boat?' Being a good sport, she accepted. And when her husband went to the dock for his maiden voyage, this is the name he saw painted on the side: For Sale. "

 

一个故事

       作为一个言语病理医生，我经常让病人讲一个自己的故事，以此引导他们
开口说话。下面是一位男病人的故事：     
      我的朋友非常想要一艘船。他的妻子一直不同意，但他还是买了一艘。“我跟你说”他跟妻子说。“作为让步，你可以给这艘船起名”。为了表示自己有气量，他妻子同意了。但当他丈夫走到码头准备他的处女航时，他看到漆在船上的名字是：“出售”。
