Wearing the Wrong Boots
　　A man went out with the wrong boots, one with a thick sole and the other with a thin one. As he began to walk, he felt uncomfortable for one foot was higher than the other. He felt this strange and said, “Is there something wrong with my legs today? Why is one of my legs long, and the other short?”
　　A passer-by told him that he was wearing the wrong boots. He looked down and found that it was really so. He hastily asked his servant to go back home and get another pair.
　　In a little while the servant ran back empty-handed. “There’s no need to change them,” he said. “The pair at home is the same, one with a thick sole and the other with a thin one.”
　　穿错了靴子
　　一个人出门时穿错了靴子，一只靴子底厚，一只靴子底薄，走起路来一脚高一脚低，很不舒服。他感到很奇怪，说：“难道今天我的腿出毛病了？为什么一条腿长一条腿短？”
　　一个过路人告诉他是靴子穿错了。他低头看了看，发现果然如此，忙让仆人回家去取另一双靴子。
　　一会儿仆人空着手跑回来说：“不用换了，家里的那双，也是一只底厚一只底薄。”
　　Been Okay
　　A young couple was becoming anxious about their four-year-old son, who had not yet talked. They took him to specialists, but the doctors found nothing wrong with him.
　　Then one morning at breakfast the boy suddenly blurted, “Mom, the toast is burned.”
　　“You talked! You talked!” shouted his mother. “I’m so happy! But why has it taken this long?”
　　“Well, up till now,” said the boy, “things have been okay.”
　　一切都很好
　　一对年轻的夫妇对于他们四岁的儿子仍然不会说话这件事非常着急。他们带他去看专家，但是医生们找不出任何不正常的地方。
　　之后有一天早上，这个男孩突然说道：“妈妈，面包烤糊了。”
　　“你说话了！你说话了！”他的妈妈嚷道。“我真高兴！但是为什么要我们等这么长的时间呢？”
　　“嗯，直到现在，”男孩说，“每件事都很正常啊。”
