Man: Hi, I made a reservation for a mid-size vehicle. The name is Jimmy Fox.

 

Agent: I’m sorry, we have no mid-size available at the moment.


Man: I don’t understand, I made a reservation, do you have my reservation?


Agent: Yes, we do, unfortunately we ran out of cars.


Man:But the reservation keeps the car here. That’s why you have the reservation.


Agent: I know why we have reservations.


Man: I don’t think you do. If you did, I’d have a car. See, you know how to take the reservation, you just don’t know how to hold the reservation and that’s really the most important part of the reservation, the holding. Anybody can just take them.


Agent: But we do have a compact or an SUV if you’d like.


Man: Fine. I’ll take the compact.


Agent: Alright. We have a blue Ford 1 Focus for you, Mr. Fox. Would you like insurance?


Man: Yeah, you better give me the insurance, because I am gonna beat the hell out of this car


【文章大意】Mr. Fox预定了要租的汽车,但是当他取车时,车行却没有他预定的中型汽车。对此他大为恼火,出租商向他推荐SUV多用途跑车,最终Mr. Fox还是租下了那款车,并交了保险
