19. Bill likes drinking and he always gets drunk (喝醉的). One winter morning, he goes to a bar and drinks a lot. When he leaves the bar, he is drunk again.
After getting home, Bill thinks he can still do something else to kill the time. So he goes out with his fishing gear (渔具).
Soon, he finds a big area of ice. "That's the place I'm looking for! There must be lots of fish under the ice!" Bill gets very happy.
He walks into the center of the ice, and begins to chisel (凿) a fishing hole. Just then, a loud voice comes out of the sky.
"You will find no fish under the ice," the voice says.
Bill is kind of scared. He looks around, but sees no one. So he starts chiselling again. Once more, the voice speaks, "As I said, there are no fish under the ice."
Bill looks around again, but he still can't see anyone. He then picks up the ice chisel. But just before he could start, the angry voice comes again!
"There are no fish here. Go away, you drunk!"
Bill is very surprised, so he asks the voice, "How do you know there are no fish? Are you a fairy (精灵) under the ice?"
"No," the voice says, "I'm the manager of this outdoor ice skating rink (溜冰场)."
