| A friend of mine whose name was Martin Brown was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence . His wife had to always remind him about his appointments (约会), his classes or even his meals! Since Martin was a professor at a well-known university , his forgetfulness often caused him a lot of trouble. It wasn't that he was unintelligent (愚钝的). He was just very, very absent-minded . One hot summer day , Professor Brown decided to take his children to the beach . The seaside town he planned to visit was about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret . Unfortunately (遗憾地，不幸地), by the time Martin had arrived at the train station , the poor forgetful man had forgotten the name of the town . Luckily , a friend of his happened to be in the station . He offered to take care of the children while Martin went back home to find out where he was going . The professor's wife was surprised to see him back again so soon , but she laughed when she heard what was the matter . She distrusted his memory , so she wrote the name of the town on a piece of paper . Satisfied that she had solved the problem , she sent her husband off again . Ten minutes later , she was astonished (吃惊 的) to see him outside the house again . What was the matter then ? The professor had forgotten where he had left his children . |
