On an Apple Tree 苹果树上
A farmer saw a little boy on an apple tree. He said, “Wait, little monkey, I'm going to tell your father!”
The boy raised his head and shouted, “Dad, someone down there wants to talk to you!”

It Was Drowned 它是淹死的
One day, I went to a daycare center for an interview. In a classroom I saw a fish bowl on the windowsill that had only some waterweeds in. I asked, “Where is the goldfish?”
The teacher replied, “Oh, it just died the day before.”
A little boy explained, “It was drowned!”
一天，我去幼儿园采访，看见一个班的窗前放着一个金鱼缸，里面只有一些水草，就问：“里面的金鱼呢？”
老师说：“前两天刚死掉。”
一个小朋友解释道：“它是淹死的！”

Wrong Guess 猜错了
Teacher: “Why do you always fail to wash up? You see, even the food you ate today for breakfast are still hanging in your face.”
Student: “Then, guess what I had for breakfast this morning.”
Teacher: “Bread and milk.”
Student: “No, you are wrong. That was what I ate yesterday morning.”
老师：“你为什么总是不洗脸？你瞧，连你今天的早餐还挂在脸上。”
学生：“那你说说我早上吃的是什么。”
老师：“面包和牛奶。”
学生：“你说错了，那是昨天早上吃的。”
Just Have Been There 刚去过
A father asked his five-year-old daughter, “Who do you love better, dad or mom?”

“If dad was to Disneyland and mom was to Paris, where would you go?”
“I want to go to Paris.”
“Why?”
“Because Paris is more beautiful!”
“What if dad was to Paris and mom was to Disneyland?”
“Of course I am going to Disneyland!”
“Why?”
“Because I have just been in Paris!”

“因为那里比较漂亮呀！”
“那现在爸爸去巴黎，妈妈去迪士尼呢？”“当然要去迪士尼！”“为什么？”
“因为刚才已经去过巴黎了呀！”
