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.”
