我爸爸不如他爸爸富有My Father Isn’t as Rich as His
This is a story about the well-known millionaire, John D. Rockefeller, and was told by a friend of his.
This friend said that though Rockefeller gave away millions, he was very mean about small sums of money. One day he went to stay at a hotel in New York and asked for the cheapest room they had.
Rockefeller said,“What is the price of the room?” The manager told him.
“Is that the lowest priced room you have? I am staying here by myself and only need a small room.”
The manager said, “that room is the smallest and cheapest we have,” and added, “But why do you choose a poor room like that? When your son stays here he always has our most expensive room; yours is our cheapest.”“Yes,”said Rockefeller, “but his father is a wealthy man; mine isn’t.”
作弊者Cheater
In class one day, Mr. Johnson pulled Johnny over to his desk after a test, and said, “Johnny, I have a feeling that you have been cheating on your tests.”
Johnny was astounded and asked Mr. Johnson to prove it. “Well,” said Mr. Johnson, “I was looking over your test and the question was, ‘Who was our first
president?’, and the little girl that sits next to you, Mary, put ‘George Washington’, and so did you.”
“So, everyone knows that he was the first president.”
“Well, just wait a minute,” said Mr. Johnson. “The next question was. ‘Who freed the slaves? Mary put ‘Abraham Lincoln’, and so did you.”
“Well, I read the history book last night and I remembered that,” said Johnny.
“Wait, wait,” said Mr. Johnson. “The next question was,‘Who was president during the Louisiana Purchase?’ Mary put ‘I don’t know’, and you put, ‘Me neither’.”
三个愿望The three wishes
A couple wishes for good luck. A fairy comes to them and says,”You may have three wishes.” The wife is very happy. She doesn’t think much and says, “I wish I had a delicious sausage.” So she has it.
“Silly!” shouts the husband. “How can you just wish for a sausage?” I wish it were on your nose!” After that, the sausage grows on the wife’s nose.
“How stupid you are! What can we do now?” cries the wife. “We have only one wish.” The husband is also very sad, and says, “We must wish this sausage
off.” So the sausage goes away. They have three wishes, but they get nothing in the end.
没什么 Nothing
Once, late at night, an Englishman came out of his room into the corridor of a hotel and asked the servant to bring him a glass of water. The servant did as he was asked. The Englishman re-entered his room, but a few minutes later he came into the corridor again and once more asked the servant for a glass of water. The servant brought him another glass of water.
Every few minutes the Englishman would come out of his room and repeat his request. After a half-hour the astonished servant decided to ask the Englishman what he was doing with the water. “Nothing,” the Englishman answered imperturbably, “It’s simply that my room is on fire.”
曾经有一个英国人半夜从房间里出来，来到旅店的走廊上，向旅店的服务员要了一杯水。服务员拿来了水，英国人就回到了房间，可几 分钟之后他又走了出来，向服务员又要了一杯水。服务员又拿了一杯。英国人每隔几分钟就走出房间，不断地要水。
半个小时之后，这位惊讶不已的服务员打算问问 房客要水做什么，英国人泰然自若地回答：“没什么，只不过是我的房间里起火了。”
