繩子還是公牛

在監獄裡,一個人問新來的犯人是什麼原因被關進來的。新來的犯人回答說:“我覺得自己真是倒黴極了。幾天前,我走在街上,看見地上有一根髒繩子。我原以為沒人要了,便順手撿起來帶回了家。”

“可是撿一根繩子帶回家根本不犯法啊!”

“我告訴過你我倒黴吧?”那個人嘆了一口氣,說道,“麻煩的就是,我沒有看到繩子的那一頭還有一頭公牛。”

Rope or Ox

The man in the prison asked a new er why he was sent there。 The new er answered:“I am out of luck; I think。 A few days ago I was walking in the street when I saw a piece of dirty rope。 I thought nobody wanted it and so I picked it up and took it home。”

“But it is not against the law to pick up a piece of rope and take home!”

“I told you I had bad luck; didn’t I?” the man sighed;“The trouble is that I didn’t notice there was an ox at the other end of that rope。”

聰明人生 第四章(2)

休 假

湯姆不喜歡上學,總是找藉口不去。如果他打噴嚏,他就讓媽媽寫個紙條說自己感冒了。如果他頭痛,他就在上課時間,叫媽媽帶他去看病。他待在家裡的時間遠比在學校的時間多。在他真正去上學的日子裡,他會編造藉口早點回家。

一天早上,剛上了一半課,他就從學校回來了。看到他回來,他的爸爸很驚訝,便問道:“你今天回來得這麼早,學校放學了嗎?”

“沒有,爸爸,”湯姆說,“還沒到放學的時間呢,我先回來了。”

“你怎麼會提前回來呢?”爸爸問,“你跟老師怎麼說的?”

“我告訴她我有了一個小弟弟,我得回家幫你。”

“可你的媽媽生了一對雙胞眙,”爸爸說,“一個男孩,一個女孩。你有一個小弟弟和一個小妹妹。”

“是的,我知道,爸爸,”湯姆說,“等下個星期,我再說我有了個小妹妹。”

A Holiday from School

Tommy hated school and was always looking for excuses not to go。 If he sneezed; he asked his mother to write a note saying he had a cold。 If he had a headache; he asked his mother to take him to the doctor during school hours。 He spent more time at home than he did at schoo1。 On the days that he did go to school; he looked for excuses to e home early。
