Drunk
One
day,
a
father
and
his
little
son
were
going
home.
At
this
age,
the
boy
was
interested
in
all
kinds
of
things
and
was
always
asking
questions.
Now,
he
asked,
"What's
the
meaning
of
the
word
'Drunk',
dad?"
"Well,
my
son,"
his
father
replied,
"look,
there
are
standing
two
policemen.
If
I
regard
the
two
policemen
as
four
then
I
am
drunk."
"But,
dad,"
the
boy
said,
"
there's
only
ONE
policeman!"

“唔,孩子,”父亲回答说,“你瞧那儿站着两个警察。如果我把他们看成了四个,那么我就算醉了。”
“可是,爸爸,
”孩子说,“那儿只有一个警察呀!”
Hospitality
The
hostess
apologized
to
her
unexpected
guest
for
serving
an
apple-pie
without
any
cheese.
The
little
boy
of
the
family
left
the
room
quietly
for
a
moment
and
returned
with
a
piece
of
cheese
which
he
laid
on
the
guest's
plate.
The
visitor
smiled,
put
the
cheese
into
his
mouth
and
then
said:
"You
must
have
better
eyes
than
your
mother,
sonny.
Where
did
you
find
the
cheese?"
"In
the
rat-trap,
sir,"
replied
the
boy.
好客
由于客人在吃苹果馅饼时,家里没有奶酪了,于是女主人向大家表示歉意。这家的小男孩悄悄地离开了屋子。过了一会儿,他拿着一片奶酪回到房间,把奶酪放在客人的盘子里。
客人微笑着把奶酪放进嘴里说:“孩子,你的眼睛就是比你妈妈的好。你在哪里找到的奶酪?”
“在捕鼠夹上,先生。”那小男孩说。
