幽默故事

My sister，a primary school teacher，was informed by one of her young pupils that a bird had built its nest in the tree outside the classroom.

“What kind of bird？”my sister inquired.

“I didn't see the bird，madam，only the nest，”answered the child.

“Well，”said my sister，“What does the nest look like？”

The child studied her innocently for a moment，then replied，“Like your hair，madam，except it's got more sticks.”

參考譯文

“是什么鳥？”我妹妹問道。

“我沒看見鳥，夫人，只看見鳥巢?！蹦呛⒆哟鸬?。

“好吧，”我妹妹說，“鳥巢什么樣子？”

那個孩子天真地研究了我妹妹一會兒，然后答道：“夫人，就和您的頭發(fā)一樣，除了多幾根小棍棍?！?/p>
