英文短篇故事（纽约）411 Christmas Pizza for All

 　　He walked into the emergency room waiting room. The clerk asked, "Can I help you?" He said, "These are for the ER staff—doctors, nurses, and everyone else that works in ER." She asked, "What are they?" He said, "They're hot, fresh pizzas. What else comes in these big boxes?" She said, "You don't look like a pizza delivery man." He said, "I'm not.

I don't trust that guy. Maybe he's got a grudge³ against someone that works here."
