When he had killed the guard, the prisoner of war quickly dragged him into the bushes. Working rapidly in the darkness, he soon changed into the dead man's clothes. Now, dressed in a blue uniform and with a rifle over his shoulder, the prisoner marched boldly up and down in front of the camp. He could hear shouting in the camp itself.

警告吝啬的老板一句话：“If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys”（微薪养蠢材）。
这句“警”言出自英国金融大亨James Goldsmith（詹姆士·高史密斯）之口，意思是说，如果老板不给员工好的回报，公司就只能收留没能耐的蠢材。在西方人眼中，“monkey”（猴子）可不像中国的悟空那样聪明，而是常被用来喻指“笨蛋”或“容易受骗的人”，如：They made a monkey out of him.（他们愚弄了他。）
看下面一组对话：
--“This company is full of incompetents!”（这家公司怎么养了一群蠢材！）
--“Well, if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.”（很自然嘛！微薪养蠢材。）
