A CHARCOAL1-BURNER carried on his trade in his own house. One day
he met a friend, a Fuller, and entreated2 him to come and live
with him, saying that they should be far better neighbors and
that their housekeeping expenses would be lessened3. The Fuller
replied, "The arrangement is impossible as far as I am concerned,
for whatever I should whiten, you would immediately blacken again
with your charcoal."
Like will draw like.
一个burner - burner在自己家里进行交易。有一天,他遇到了一个朋友,一个叫富勒的,并且让他来和他住在一起,说他们应该是好得多的邻居,而且他们的家务费用会是lessened3美元。富勒回答道。“就我而言,这样的安排是不可能的,因为无论我应该美白什么,你都会立刻用你的木炭再次变黑。"喜欢就会画喜欢。
