On the first Saturday in their new home; Hank took his new red car out of garage and was washing it when a neighbor came by。 When he saw Hank’s new car; the neighbor stopped and looked at it for a minute。 Then Hank turned and saw him。
The neighbor said;“That’s a nice car。 Is it yours?”
“Sometimes。” Hank answered。
The neighbor was surprised。 “Sometimes?” he said;“What do you mean?”
“Well;” answered Hank slowly; “when there’s a party in town; it belongs to my daughter; Jane。 When there’s a football game somewhere; it belongs to my son; Joe。 When I’ve washed it; and it looks really nice and clean; it belongs to my wife。 And when it needs gas; It’s mine。。 最好的txt下載網

“對不起,長官!我可以解釋,你知道的,我去赴一個約會,就晚了一點。我跑到車站,可是沒趕上公車。我叫了一輛計程車,可是……”
