1.風和太陽(The Wind And The Sun)
One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.
(有一天風跟太陽說: “看看那個沿著路上走的人.我可以比你快讓他把披風脫下來.)
(“我們等著看吧,”太陽說, “我讓你先試.)
(因此風嘗試讓那個人把披風脫下來.他用力地吹,可是那個人把披風拉得更緊.)
(“我放棄了,”風最后說, “我無法讓他把披風脫下來.”然后由太陽試試看.他盡可能地曬他.不久,那個人很熱就把披風脫下來了.)
2.翅 膀
一天，我工作的炸雞店在關門前出現了一陣搶購狂潮，結果除了雞翅外所有的東西都賣完了。
當我正準備鎖門時，一名喝醉了的旅客進來要進餐。
我問他翅膀行不行，他從柜臺上靠過身子來，回答道：“女士，我到這兒來是吃東西的，不是要飛！”
Wings
The fried-chicken restaurant where I was working had a big rush just before closing one day, leaving us with nothing to sell but wings. As I was about to lock the doors, aa quietly intoxicated customer came in and ordered dinner. When I asked if wings would be all right, he leaned over the counter and replied, "Lady, I came in here to eat, not fly."
3.有個小男孩頭戴球帽，手拿球棒和棒球，全副武裝地到自家后院。
“我是世界上最偉大的打擊手，”他自信滿滿。
把球往空中一扔，用力揮棒，但卻沒有打中。
他毫不氣餒，又往空中一扔，大喊一聲：“我是最厲害的打擊手。”
他再次揮棒，可惜又落空了。
他楞了半晌，仔仔細細地將球棒和棒球檢查了一番。
他站了起來，又試了一次，這次他仍告訴自己：“我是最杰出的打擊手。”
然而他第三次嘗試又落空。
“哇！”他突然跳了起來，“原來我是第一流的投手！”

課堂上，老師問：“這里有兩只鳥，一只是燕子，一只是麻雀。
誰能指出它們分別是哪只？”一個學生說：“我指不出，但我知道答案。
”老師很驚訝：“請告訴我們。

A student says:"I cannot point out but I know the answer. "
The teacher is suprised:"Please tell us."
