One morning, a boy named Tony was getting dressed in his
bedroompreparing to go to school. His mother called out
from the living room, "Remember to put on a pair of new
socks!" Tony answered, "Yes, mom,
I will put on a pair of new socks." His mother emphasized, "
I mean that you should wear a new pair of socks every day!"
Tony again answered,"Yes, mom, I will put on a new pair
of socks every day."
A week later, he came out of the bedroom and said to his
mother, "Mom,I cannot get my feet into my shoes anymore."

There were two men who went out to eat together.
They ordered fish. So on the table there were two fish.
Normally not all the fish are alike in size, so there
was one small, and one big. The first man just took
the big one for himself without asking and feeling
ashamed, or anything; and ate it. The other friend
felt very disturbed and annoyed, he didn't know what
to say. So he thought for a while, and then he said,
" If it were me," I would have taken the smaller one
first." So the other guy said," See! I knew that!
That's why I took the big one."
我就知道
有兩個人壹起出去吃飯，結果點了兩條魚，不久之後，
魚就上桌了，但是通常魚的大小都不太壹樣，所以送來
的魚也是壹條大壹條小。結果第壹個人問也不問，就把
比較大的那條魚夾起來吃，壹點都沒有不好意思的樣子。
另壹個人看了心裏很不高興，但是也不知道該說什麽才好。
他想了壹會兒，終於開口說：「如果是我的話，我壹定
會先拿那條小魚。」另壹個人就接口說：「看吧！我就
知道，所以我剛剛才拿大魚。」

Two women were sitting on a train. It was a long ride so
they started talking about family business and their
family members. And the older of the two women said,
"Oh! My God, it's so terrible to have children. There's so
much to worry about; they always make trouble for you.
My son, he's only 20 years old, but he already smokes
and drinks, and he always changes girlfriends. It's really
terrible. I wish he could be better, but no such luck. I've
been praying every day." She then asked the other
woman, "And how about you? Do you have any children?
How about your son?" So the younger woman said,
"Oh, my son is no problem! He never smokes, he never
drinks and he doesn't have a girlfriend. He doesn't even
utter one word about bad things." So the older woman
said, "Really? Fantastic! You're so blessed. How old is
he?" And the younger woman said, "Five months."
乖小孩
兩位女士坐在火車上，因為旅途很長，她們就開始聊起家人和家裏
的事。年紀較大的女士說：「天啊！有小孩真是傷腦筋！有那麽多
事要操心，還老是惹麻煩給妳。我兒子才二十歲，就已經會抽煙、
喝酒，而且壹直換女朋友，真是糟透了！我希望他改好壹點，他也
不改，只好天天求老天保佑。」接著，她問另外壹位女士：「那妳
呢？ 有小孩嗎？ 兒子怎樣？」那位女士回答：「噢！我兒子沒問
題，他從不抽煙、不喝酒，也沒有女朋友，甚至沒講過什麽不好的
話。」那位較年長的女士說：「真的嗎？太好了！ 真有福氣！妳兒
子多大了？」比較年輕的女士回答：「五個月大。」
