A
George Bemard Shaw（蕭伯納） and Winston Churchill（丘吉爾） disliked each other. It is said that the playwright（劇作家） once sent Churchill two tickets for the opening night of one of his plays， together with a card， which said， “Bring a friend （if you have one）.”
Churchill， however， returned the tickets with a note， which said， “I shall be busy that evening. Please send me two tickets for the second night （if there is one）.”
There is no record of whether Shaw ever sent the tickets.
