Jack’s Tea Strainer
杰克的滤茶器
Jack made lunch for his mother. When his mother returned with a friend, she saw that Jack had already strained the tea. The two women then drank their tea happily while having lunch.
“Did you have any trouble finding the tea strainer?” Jack’s mother asked.
“I couldn’t find it, Mum, so I used the fly swatter(苍蝇拍),” he said.
His mother nearly fainted(晕倒), so Jack quickly added, “Don’t worry, Mum, I used the old one!”

The dog trotted off, but an hour later he had still not

“How much did you give him?” asked the owner. “Five dollars.” “Well, that explains
it. When you give him five dollars, he goes to a movie.”

The next morning, Mrs Brown makes a nice cake, and her husband eats half of it. After he goes out, Mrs Brown cuts a very small piece of the cake and eats it. It is very good. She cuts a bigger piece and eats it. In a few minutes she finishes the cake. “My husband is going to be very angry,” she says. “What am I going to do?”
