2、。尽管那只瓶子呈淡绿色，但细心的客人很快就会发觉瓶里装的是一种看上去黏稠、颜色发灰的东西。要是你问哈里瓶里装着什么，他会告知你是香水泥。假如你表示疑心或惊异，他会马上请你闻一闻，然后取出一些抹在你的皮肤上。这一简洁的试验会消退你可能存有的一切疑虑。瓶里装的确实是香水泥。哈里是如何得到这种稀奇奇怪的东西的，这里有个好玩的故事，而且他挺爱把它讲给别人听。此外，得到这瓶香水泥还治好了他多年的一个坏习惯。 哈里曾认为走进一家珍贵化装品商店，荒唐地提出要买一种根本不存在的商品是件很快乐的事儿。他会当场编造出一些稀奇奇怪的货名。他走进商店后，会提出要一种名叫“香影”的新型香水或者什么“不溶浴皂”。要是女售
3、货员告知他从未听说过这些东西，他会装出非常圆满和担心的样子。他爱听售货员说他想像出来的那种东西临时脱销，于是他就煞有介事地许诺改天再来光临。固然，他再也不会来了。我实在想像不出哈里在这些表演中是怎样装出一本正经的样子的。 毋须示意哈里就会向你讲起他买下那瓶宝贵香水泥的经过。一天，他去伦敦一家高级商店要买一种叫“密诺莱特”的东西，店员露出惊诧的神色。哈里又渐渐地、一字一顿地说了一遍这个词，那个女售货员还是迷惑不解地摇了摇头。哈里便进一步解释“密诺莱特”是一种质地坚硬、状似琥珀的东西，可以用来除去雀斑。他的解释明显对女售货员有些启发。她一个货架接着一个货架地查找，拿出各种各样稀奇奇怪的化装品，但没
4、有一样能够符合哈里的要求。哈里装出不快乐的样子时，女售货员同意为他定货。哈里为他的骗术而感到洋洋得意，又提出要买香水泥。他原想女售货员会惊异地望着他，不知所措，没料到这回该轮到他自己惊讶了。由于那女售货员听完哈里的话后，立刻眼睛一亮，拿出几瓶东西放在柜台上让哈里选择。哈里只好认输。他挑出一个看上去最小的瓶子，慎重地问了价。他庆幸自己只破费了20英镑便得以脱身。他把那只珍贵的瓶子放在腋下夹着，溜之大吉。从那以后，他熟悉到自己创造的小小恶作剧是要付出很大代价的。在他书房的书柜里摆着的那瓶外形奇怪的香水泥就是他第一次也是最终一次购置的稀有化装品。 Multiple choice questions
