1.约会
When the young waitress in the café in Tom's building started waving hello everyday. Tom was flattered, for she was at least 15 years younger than he. One day she waved and beckoned to Tom again. When Tom strolled over, she asked, "Are you single?"
"Why, yes," Tom replied, smiling at her broadly.
"So is my mom," she said. "Would you like to meet her?"

A Soldier's Brilliant Idea
Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business, and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked sitting beside a window when he was flying, so when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already had been taken except for one. There was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one, and Mr. Robinson was surprised that he had not taken the one by the window; but, anyhow, he at once went towards it.
When he reached it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it. It was written in ink and said, "This seat is preserved for proper load balance, thank you." Mr Robinson had never seen such an unusual notice in a plane before, but he thought that the plane must be carrying something particularly heavy in it, so he walked on and found another empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in.
Two or three people tried to sit in the window seat beside the soldier, but they too read the notice and went on, when the plane was nearly full, a very beautiful girl hurried into the plane. The soldier, who was watching the passengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside himself and in this way succeededin having the company of the girl during the whole trip.

然而,等到了那儿,他看见座位上有则启事,是用钢笔写的：“为保持装载平衡,特预设该位置,谢谢合作.”罗宾逊先生还从来没有在飞机上见过如此不同寻常的启事.不过,他想飞机上一定装了什么特别重的物品,于是他找了个不靠窗的位置.

Camera
On our way to a wedding in Vermont, my husband and I realized we had forgotten our camera. We stopped at a general store and, hoping to purchase a cheap, disposable model. Sal asked the owner, "Do you have any of those throwaway cameras?"
"Look, fella," replied the owner, "I don't care what you do with it after you buy it.

2.A farmer who lives in a small village has a bad pain in the chest. This never seems to get any better. The farmer decides that he will go to see a doctor in the nearest town. But as he is a miserly person, he thinks he will find out what he will have to pay the doctor. He is told that a sick person has to pay three pounds for the first visit and one pound for the second visit. The farmer thinks about this for a long time, and then he decides to go to the doctor in the town.
As he comes into the doctor's room, he says ,"Good morning, doctor. Here I am again." The doctor is a little surprised. He asks him a few questions, checks his chest and then takes the pound which the farmer insists on him. Then the doctor says with a smile,"well,sir, there's nothing new. Please go on taking the same medicine I give you the first time you come to see me."
3.Once a fox invited a stork to dinner. He put nothing on the table except some soup in a very shallow dish.
The fox could easily lap up the soup, but the stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it. When she left the meal, she was still very hungry. "I am sorry," said the fox, "the soup is not to your taste."
"Please do not apologize," said the stork. "I hope you will come to my house, and dine with me soon."
A few days later the fox visited the stork. He found that his food was put in a long bottle, and the mouth of the bottle was very narrow. He could not insert his big mouth into it, so he ate nothing.
"I will not apologize," said the stork. "One bad turn deserves another."
一次,狐狸请鹳来吃饭.他除了浅盘子中的一点汤以外,什么也没有准备.
狐狸可以轻而易举地喝到汤,但是鹳只够蘸湿他长长的嘴尖.吃完饭后,鹳仍旧很饥饿."很抱歉!"狐狸说,"这汤不合你的口味".
"别客气,"鹳说,"过几天请到我家来和我一起吃饭吧."
几天后,狐狸应邀而至,他发现食物都装在一个长长的瓶子里,而瓶口很细,他无法将他的大嘴伸进去,什么也吃不到.
"我不想道歉,这是你应得的回报."鹳说.
