The rich man and the tanner 富人和制皮匠（中英）

A Rich Man took up his residence next door to a Tanner, and found the smell of the tan-yard so extremely unpleasant that he told him he must go. The Tanner delayed his departure, and the Rich Man had to speak to him several times about it; and every time the Tanner said he was making arrangements to move very shortly. This went on for some time, till at last the Rich Man got soused to the smell that he ceased to mind it, and troubled the Tanner with his objections no more.

一个富人与制皮匠比邻而居，发现皮匠院子里传出的气味实在让人受不了，便告诉皮匠请他搬家。制皮匠一直在拖延，富人重复说了好多次让他快点搬家，皮匠每次总是说马上就搬，却老是不采取行动。就这样持续了一段时间，富人已经闻惯了皮革的臭气，也就不再非难制皮匠了。
