8月的一天,阿尔·康德拉杰身无分文在伍尔沃思店里闲逛,看见一把小铁锤,那不是一个玩具锤,而是他渴望得到的一把真锤子。他相信这正是他需要的东西,他可以用它来打破无聊,并做些什么。他已经从弗利包装厂收集了一些头等铁钉,那里做箱子的工人们漫不经心丢掉的铁钉起码值15美分。在他看来,像这样的钉子一枚都不应该浪费。 One day in August, Al Condrag was penniless and wandering around in the Woolworth store. He saw a small hammer, not a toy hammer, but a real hammer he desired. He believes this is exactly what he needs. He can use it to break boredom and do something. He had already collected some first-class nails from Forli’s packing factory, and the workers who had made the boxes had carelessly lost at least 15 cents. In his opinion, a nail like this should not be wasted.
