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!"

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
由於客人在吃蘋果餡餅時,家裏沒有奶酪了,於是女主人向大家表示歉意。這家的小男孩悄悄地離開了屋子。過了壹會兒,他拿著壹片奶酪回到房間,把奶酪放在客人的盤子裏。
客人微笑著把奶酪放進嘴裏說:“孩子,妳的眼睛就是比妳媽媽的好。妳在哪裏找到的奶酪?”
“在捕鼠夾上,先生。”那小男孩說。
