A little pig came up to me while I was waiting at a stop light in Walnut Creek.
He squealed "Pssst down here." I looked down. The pig looked up at me and asked: "Can you keep a secret?"
I don't know, I said. It depends.
"Oh hell," said the pig. "I'll tell you anyway."
"You know how Amazon has all those great web services."
Yes, I said, I use them and they're great.
"Well how would you like to get all those services and more, and get to run software in Google's cloud, just like all the people at Google do?"
Yes, I would, I said, wondering how much this would cost.
"How much would it cost?" I asked.
"That's the best part," said the little pig. "For a guy like you, a blogger, with modest needs, it would be free."
I bent down and gave the pig a kiss on the cheek and said "You're a very nice little pig."
The light changed and I crossed the street. I noticed the pig was stopping the next person and asked if he could keep a secret.

小猪
我正在Walnut Creek 等红灯, 一只小猪向我走来.
他高声叫道“看过来,看过来…”我看了看他. 小猪抬起头问我到:“你能帮我保守一个秘密吗?”
“我不知道,要看是什么事情”我答道.
“噢,天哪” 小猪说道, “好吧~我还是告诉你吧~”
“你知道Amazon有很多很好的网站服务吗?”
“知道啊, 我也用的,他们的服务很好啊~”
“那你想不想使用Google的云计算系统得到同样的甚至是更多更好的服务,就像很多使用Google的客户一样?”
恩,当然愿意咯,但是,心里嘀咕这这个样子得要多少钱啊?
“那么费用是多少呢?”我问.
“哈哈,这个就是我们最棒的地方了”小猪说道,“对于像您这样的先生,一个博主,所提供的服务将是免费的.”
我弯下身,在小猪的脸上亲了一下“你真是一个可爱的小猪.”
绿灯亮了,我过了马路.我发现有一只小猪拦下了一个路人,问她是否可以保守一个秘密呢….
