One morning there was a loud knock at Dean Swift's door. The servant(佣人)opened it. A man who was outside handed her a fine duck and said, "Here's a present for Dean. It's from Mr Boyle." Then, without another word, he walked away.
Mr. Boyle was a sporty neighbour. He liked reading Dean Swift's books and sending him presents. The second time, the man brought a quail(鹌鹑). "Here's something else for Dean," he said and threw it into the servant's arms.
"That man has no manners," the servant told Dean.
"The next time he comes," said Dean, "let me know."
It was not long before the man came with another present. Dean went to the door.
"Here's a rabbit from Mr. Boyle, "said the man.
"See here, "said Dean." That is not the way to deliver a message here. Just walk inside and make believe(假装)that you were Dean Swift. I will show you."
"I'll agree to that, "said the man, and he walked inside. Dean took the rabbit and knocked gently at the door.
The door was opened by the man. Dean said, "If you please, sir, Mr Boyle wishes you to accept this fine rabbit."
"Oh, thank you, "said the man very politely. Then, taking out his wallet, he offered Dean some money." And here is something for your trouble."
The lesson in manners was not forgotten. After that, the man was very polite when he brought presents. And Dean also took the hint(暗示).He always remembered to give the man a tip for his trouble.
