21歲生日
生于Cape Breton的喬治自出生以來(lái)就聽(tīng)說(shuō)了一個(gè)令人驚奇的家族軼事。他的父親、祖父、曾祖父似乎都在他們二十一歲生日那天在水上行走。那一天，他們走過(guò)湖面，去劃船俱樂(lè)部喝他們第一杯合法的酒。所以當(dāng)喬治的二十一歲生日到來(lái)的時(shí)候，他和他的伙伴高爾基駕船來(lái)到河中央。喬治跨出船外，但他差一點(diǎn)淹死！高爾基拼命把他拉了上來(lái)。喬治感到生氣和困惑，他去問(wèn)他的祖母，“祖母，今天是我二十一歲的生日，但我為什么不能像父親、祖父和曾祖父那樣走過(guò)湖面呢？”祖母注視著他的眼睛說(shuō)，“傻瓜，因?yàn)槟愕母赣H，祖父和曾祖父在一月出生，而你生在七月?！?
6 The 21st Birthday
All of his life George from Cape Breton had heard stories of
an amazing family tradition． It seems that his father，
grandfather and great-grandfather had all been able to walk on
water on their 21st birthday． On that day， they'd walk across
the lake to the boat club for their first legal drink．
So when George's 21st birthday came around， he and his pal
Corky took a boat out to the middle of the lake． George
stepped out of the boat and nearly drowned! Corky just managed
to pull him to safety．
Furious and confused， George went to see his grandmother．
“Grandma， it's my 21st birthday， so why can't I walk across
the lake like my father， his father， and his father before
him?” Granny looked into George's eyes and said， “Because， you
dumb ass， your father， grandfather and great grandfather were
born in January. You were born in July．”
