Four women living in the neighborhood were invited2 to a party. They were discussing about the dress they would wear for the party. They at last picked the same color as the hair color of their husbands.
The first woman said， “I will go with red as my husband colored his hair red.”
The second woman said，“I always like black as my husbands hair color is naturally black！”
The third woman told，“Yeah， then I will go with yellow dress as he has blonde hair！”
The fourth woman was quiet. All the other asked her about her color.
She said，“I was thinking a lot but cant pick any color. I cant wear any dress because my husband is bald3！”
住在附近的四位女士被邀请参加一个聚会。她们在讨论要穿什么裙子去参加聚会。最后，她们选了和自己丈夫头发颜色一样的裙子。
第一个女士说：“我要穿红色的，因为我丈夫把他的头发染成了红色。”
第二个女士说：“我一直喜欢黑色，因为我丈夫的头发天生是黑色的！”
第三个女士说：“好，那我就穿黄裙子，因为我丈夫他有一头金发！”
第四个女士静静地不说话。其他人问她选什么颜色。
她说：“我想了很多，但选不出任何颜色。我什么衣服也穿不了，因为我丈夫是秃头！”
