The Bait
Mr. Smith telephoned the doctor in the middle of the night.
"Come quickly， Doctor. You know that my wife sleeps with her mouth open. Well， a mouse has run inside her！"
"I will be with you in about ten minutes，" replied the doctor. "Until I arrive， try holding a piece of cheese in front of her mouth. This may bring the mouse out."
When the doctor arrived， Mr. Smith was not holding a piece of cheese. He was holding a fish in front of his wife's mouth.
"What are you doing"， asked the doctor. "A mouse doesn't like a fish."
"I know，" said Mr. Smith. "But we have to get a cat at first."
诱饵
史密斯先生在半夜给医生打电话。
“医生，快来啊！你知道，我妻子习惯张着嘴睡觉，结果一只老鼠钻进去了。”
“我十分钟后到，”医生回答，“在我到达之前，试着在她嘴前拿一片干奶酪，也许会把老鼠引出来。”
当医生到达时，史密斯先生不是拿一片干奶酪，而是拿着一条鱼。
“你这是干什么？”医生说道，“老鼠不喜欢吃鱼。”
“我知道，”史密斯先生说，“可我得先把猫引出来。”

The hobbling onion vendor

The dried branches
Seize the clouds
俳句三首
作者：维伦加纳（印度）
1
夜晚时分
洋葱小贩一瘸一拐地
出售着明月
2
天空融化了
糖浆涓涓流淌
太阳挂在我窗上
3
对雨的渴望
让干枯的树枝
将流云紧紧抓住
（文/王世跃 刘书恩）
