  A devil's device

  Tommy deviated from being normal when he met the devil in a detached house in the woods.

  "Tommy! Come here! Let me show you something that I have devised especially for you!"The devil said as he detached himself from a black horse.

  "Hey, you' re the devil! My mom detests you! She said that you are detrimental to the health of everyone you meet! She'd be devastated if I listened to you!"

  "Well, just take a small detour with me then, eh?" Said the devil, determined to influence Tommy. "Look at this little device I have here." Holding up his staff the devil took off the detachable top piece and handed it to Tommy, who had always been as curious as a detective. "This can change your life."

  "How?" Said Tommy, no longer deterred from talking with the devil. "Can it give me three wishes?"

  Nonsense. Now be quiet and don't detract me from what I was saying. If you just keep this device you will be rich and famous. Only do not detach the lid or wash it with detergent." And then the devil disappeared.

  From that day on Tommy always carried the device with him. His former politeness disappeared and he became a renowned deviant. His mother noticed his deviance, however, and when a conversation with Tommy quickly deteriorated into a vicious argument, Tommy pulled out the device. She never spoke again.

  Tommy did become rich; he even became famous. But the device destroyed everything good that he came in contact with. And while he knew that it was truly a detriment to his happiness, he enjoyed his riches and his fame. He could never part with it, taking it with him to the grave!

  讀故事單詞雅思詞匯-魔鬼的玩意兒

  托米在森林里一個獨立式住宅遇見魔鬼后就有些不正常了。

  “托米!過來!讓我給你看看我專門為你設計的東西!”魔鬼一邊離開一匹黑馬一邊說。

  “嘿，你是魔鬼!我媽討厭你!她說你見誰就會危害誰的健康!要是我聽了你的話她會氣暈的!”

  “那就和我兜個小圈，行嗎?”魔鬼說道，他決心要影響托米。“看看我這兒的這個小玩藝兒。”魔鬼把他的東西舉起來，拿掉可拆開的頂部，把它遞給托米，而托米一直像偵探一樣好奇，“它能改變你的生活。”

  “怎么改變?”托米說，不再嚇得不敢跟魔鬼說話。“它能讓我許三個愿嗎?”

  “廢話!現在請安靜，別使我轉移話題。如果你留著這個東西，你就會又有錢又出名。只是不要打開蓋子或用洗滌劑清洗。”說完魔鬼就消失了。

  從那天起，托米總是帶著這個玩意兒。他以前的禮貌不見了，成了有名的離經叛道者。但他母親注意到了他的不正常，當和托米的談話很快惡化為激烈的爭吵時，托米拿出了那個東西，她就再也不說話了。

  托米的確變得很富有，他甚至還出了名。但那玩意兒毀掉了所有他接觸到的好東西。雖然他知道那東西真的會損害他的幸福，但他還是很喜歡他的財富和名聲。他再也離不開那玩意兒，他要一直把它帶到墳墓里去!
