I run a kids' clothing consignment sale twice a year called “Duck, Duck, Goose,” after the popular children's game. I checked the local newspaper to make sure our advertisement appeared on the front page of the classifieds as I had requested. It wasn't there. I started looking through the section, worried that it hadn't run at all. Finally I found it in the “Livestock” listings. It was placed beneath the category titled “Poultry.”
我每年舉行兩次孩童衣服托賣活動,用一個很普遍的孩童游戲“鴨子、鴨子、鵝”來命名。我到當?shù)氐膱蠹埳系菑V告,要求把這條廣告放在分類廣告的頭版。但是在分類廣告的頭版我沒有找到。我擔心他們根本就沒有把廣告登出來,于是把全部廣告都看了一遍。最后在“牲畜”欄下面的“家禽”類里面找到了。
