Can we have our teacher back
Once a superintendent of schools was visiting a three-room school. One room was very noisy, so the man grabbed a tall boy who had been standing up talking. He took the boy into another room and stood him in the corner.
Five minutes later, a smalll boy came out of the first room and said, "When can we have our teacher back?"
能让我们的老师回去吗?
有一次,一位督学去视察一个只有三间教室的学校。一间教室非常吵闹,因此督学抓住其中一个正在站着说话的人,把他带进另一间教室,并让他站在墙角。五分钟以后,一个小男孩从第一间教室走进来,问道,“您什么时候能让我们的老师回去呢?”
save much more 省得更多
"You will be pleased with me today, mother," said Dick to his mother, coming home from school. "I saved on fares. I didn't go to school by bus, I ran all the way after it."
"Well," said his mother laughing, "Next time you should run after a taxi, you will save much more."

“妈妈,你今天一定会对我满意的,”迪克放学回家后对妈妈说,“我省下了车钱。我上学时没乘公***汽车,而是跟着公***汽车一路跑到学校的。”
“哦,”他妈妈笑着说,“下次你跟在出租汽车后面跑,那会省得更多。”
A big head 大脑袋
"All the kids make fun of me," the boy cried to his mother. "They say I have a big head."
"Don't listen to them," his mother consoled. "You have a beautiful head. Now stop crying and go to the store for ten pounds of potatoes."
"Where's the shopping bag?"
"I haven't got one - use you hat."
大脑袋
“所有的小朋友都拿我取乐,”小男孩哭着跟妈妈说:“他们说我长了一个大脑袋。”
“别听他们的,”他妈妈安慰说。“你的脑袋长得很漂亮。好了,别哭了,去到店里买10磅土豆来。”
“兜子在哪呢?”
“我没有兜子——就用你的帽子吧。”
