Giving Up Wine


I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.

در حال قدم زدن در خیابان بودم که با خانمی نسبتا کثیف و کهنه پوشی که شبیه زنان بی خانه بود روبرو شدم که از من 2 دلار برای تهیه شام درخواست کرد.

I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, 'If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?'

من کیف پولم را در آوردم و 10 دلار برداشتم و ازش پرسیدم اگر من این پول را بهت بدم تو مشروب بجای شام می خری؟!

'No, I had to stop drinking years ago' , the homeless woman told me.

نه,من نوشیدن مشروب را سالها پیش ترک کردم,ز ن بی خانه به من گفت.

'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I

asked.

'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.'

زن بی خانه گفت:نه, من وقتم را برای خرید صرف نمی کنم من همه وقتم را تلاش برای زنده ماندن نیاز دارم.

'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked.

من پرسیدم :آیا تو این پول را بجای غذا برای سالن زیبایی صرف می کنی؟

'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!'

 تو خلی!زن بی خانه جواب داد.من موهایم را طی 20 سال شانه نکردم!

'Well, I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and

me tonight.'

The homeless Woman was shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.'

I said, 'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.'
