课文内容：



Some plays are so successful that they run for years on
many ways, this is unfortunate for the poor actors who are required
to go on repeating the same lines night after night. One would expect
them to know their parts by heart and never have cause to falter. Yet
this is not always the case.


A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast in the
role of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in the Bastille for
twenty years. In the last act, a gaoler would always come on to the
stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner. Even though
the noble was expected to read the letter at each performance, he
always insisted that it should be written out in full.


One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to
find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the
contents of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act
of the play and revealed the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in
his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler appeared with the precious
letter
in his hands. He entered the cell and presented the letter to the
aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in full
as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on
eagerly, anxious to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his
lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds.


Then, squinting his eyes, he said: 'The light is dim. Read the
letter to me'. And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the
gaoler. Finding that he could not remember a word of the letter
either, the gaoler replied: 'The light is indeed dim, sire, I must
get my glasses.' With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the
aristocrat's amusement, the gaoler returned a few moments later with
a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter with he proceeded
to read to the prisoner.
