  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!

  读故事单词雅思词汇-魔鬼的玩意儿

  托米在森林里一个独立式住宅遇见魔鬼后就有些不正常了。

  “托米!过来!让我给你看看我专门为你设计的东西!”魔鬼一边离开一匹黑马一边说。

  “嘿，你是魔鬼!我妈讨厌你!她说你见谁就会危害谁的健康!要是我听了你的话她会气晕的!”

  “那就和我兜个小圈，行吗?”魔鬼说道，他决心要影响托米。“看看我这儿的这个小玩艺儿。”魔鬼把他的东西举起来，拿掉可拆开的顶部，把它递给托米，而托米一直像侦探一样好奇，“它能改变你的生活。”

  “怎么改变?”托米说，不再吓得不敢跟魔鬼说话。“它能让我许三个愿吗?”

  “废话!现在请安静，别使我转移话题。如果你留着这个东西，你就会又有钱又出名。只是不要打开盖子或用洗涤剂清洗。”说完魔鬼就消失了。

  从那天起，托米总是带着这个玩意儿。他以前的礼貌不见了，成了有名的离经叛道者。但他母亲注意到了他的不正常，当和托米的谈话很快恶化为激烈的争吵时，托米拿出了那个东西，她就再也不说话了。

  托米的确变得很富有，他甚至还出了名。但那玩意儿毁掉了所有他接触到的好东西。虽然他知道那东西真的会损害他的幸福，但他还是很喜欢他的财富和名声。他再也离不开那玩意儿，他要一直把它带到坟墓里去!
