Ｗｈｏｓｅ Ｄｏｇ Ｗａｓ ｔｈｅ Ｓｍａｒｔｅｓｔ

王松海

Four friends were arguing over whose dogwas the smartest. The first man, an engineer,called to his dog,“T square, show your stuff.”The dog trotted over to a desk, pulled out a paper and a pencil, and drew a perfecttriangle.

The next guy, an accountant , called to his dog, “Slide Rule, go ahead.”Thedog went to the kitchen, nibbled opened a bag of cookies and divided the contentsinto four equal piles.

The next man, a chemist, beckoned his dog, Beaker, to show what he could do.The dog went to the fridge, took out a quart of milk and poured out exactly eightounces into a measuring cup.

The last man was a government worker.“Coffee Break,” he hollered to his dog,“go to it.” With that, the dog jumped to his feet, soiled the paper, ate the cookiesand drank the milk.

谁的狗最聪明

四个朋友在为谁的狗最聪明而争论。第一个人是个工程师，他对自己的狗喊道：“T形角，使出你的本领来。”这只狗便跑向一张书桌，拉出一张纸和一支铅笔，画出了一个完美的三角形。

第二人是个会计。他对他的狗说：“珠算法，上吧。”那狗直奔厨房，用嘴咬开一袋甜饼并把饼分成了四等份。

第三个人是位药剂师。他命他的狗——量杯，表现一下。但见那狗直走向冰箱，叼出一瓶牛奶并精确地把八盎司牛奶倒入一个量杯中。

最后一位是政府职员。“休息时间，”他对自己的狗喊道，“去吧。”话音未落，那狗便跳将起来，踏污了那张纸，吃掉了所有的甜饼，喝光了那杯牛奶。
