老琼斯先生家附近有一座大花园，里面长了很多果树。一天，他看到有棵树上结了一些鲜艳苹果。他回家拿了一架梯子，把它倚靠在花园的高墙上，爬了上去。然后，他把梯子拿起来放在墙的另一边，顺着梯子下去进了花园。就在这时，园丁从角落里走了过来，看到了他。
"What are you doing here?" he shouted.

“卖梯子？在别人的花园里？你以为我会相信你现编乱造？”说着，园丁就拿着棍子朝他走去。
"It is my ladder," said Mr. Jones,"and I can sell it where I like. You needn't buy if you don't want to." And he took 19 his ladder and climbed over the wall again.
“这是我的梯子！”琼斯先生说，“我愿意在哪里卖就在哪里卖。如果你不愿意，就不必买啊！”他带着梯子，又爬过墙走了。
