Mr Wu was a proud man．“I am sure my family is one of the oldest families in the country, ”he often told people．“It has a long history．”One day he went to see an expert(专家)in family history, Mrs Li．
“I want you to find out everything about my family, ”he said．“Where do we come from? Who was the first Wu? Were there any famous people in my family? Do I have any rich relations?”
“OK!” Mrs Li said．“But it will cost you ＄2, 000．”
Mr Wu thought about this．Two thousand dollars was a lot of money．
At last he said, “All right．But for ＄2, 000 I want a full history．”
The expert agreed．“Come back in three months, ”she said．
Three months later, Mr Wu visited Mrs Li again．
“Well,” he said, “have you found out everything about my family?”
“Yes,” she said．“It’s a very interesting family．And then my price(价格)is now ＄2, 000．”
“But I already paid you ＄2,000,” Mr Wu said．
“I know．It was ＄2, 000 to find out about your family, ”she said．“It is another ＄2, 000 to keep secret what I found out!”
