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?"
能讓我們的老師回去嗎？
有壹次，壹位督學去視察壹個只有三間教室的學校。壹間教室非常吵鬧，因此督學抓住其中壹個正在站著說話的人，把他帶進另壹間教室，並讓他站在墻角。五分鐘以後，壹個小男孩從第壹間教室走進來，問道，“您什麽時候能讓我們的老師回去呢？”
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."

“哦，”他媽媽笑著說，“下次妳跟在出租汽車後面跑，那會省得更多。”
A big head 大腦袋
"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."
大腦袋
“所有的小朋友都拿我取樂，”小男孩哭著跟媽媽說：“他們說我長了壹個大腦袋。”
“別聽他們的，”他媽媽安慰說。“妳的腦袋長得很漂亮。好了，別哭了，去到店裏買10磅土豆來。”
“兜子在哪呢？”
“我沒有兜子——就用妳的帽子吧。”
