His Last Wish

The last day of a criminal condemned to death came. The police asked him what he would like to have for breakfast. He was told he could have anything he liked.

“Well，” he said， “I think I would like to have some peaches.”

“You know it is winter now， and there are no peaches.”

“Never mind，” said the criminal， “I can wait.”

他最后的愿望

一個(gè)死刑犯的末日到了。警察問他早飯想吃什么，并被告知他可以吃到他想吃的任何東西。

“沒關(guān)系，”犯人說，“我可以等?！?/p>

Keep the Change

One sweltering day， I was scooping ice cream into cones and told my four children they could “buy” a cone from me for a hug. Almost immediately， the kids lined up to make their purchases. The three youngest each gave me a quick hug， grabbed their cones and raced back outside. But when my teen-age son at the end of the line finally got his turn to “buy” his ice cream， he gave me two hugs. “Keep the changes，” he said with a smile.

不用找了

有一天天氣悶熱，我將冰淇淋舀進(jìn)錐筒，告訴我的四個(gè)小孩，他們可以從我這里用擁抱“購(gòu)買”一筒。于是，孩子們馬上排起了隊(duì)來購(gòu)買。較小的三個(gè)孩子每人很快的抱了我一下，抓過冰淇淋筒就跑到外面去了。最后輪到排在隊(duì)尾十幾歲的大兒子來“買”冰淇淋時(shí)，他擁抱了我兩下?！安挥谜伊?，”他笑著說。

Bedtime Prayers

Julie was saying her bedtime prayers. “Please God，” she said， “make Naples the capital of Italy. Make Naples the capital of Italy.”

Her mother interrupted and said， “Julie， why do you want God to make Naples the capital of Italy?”

And Julie replied， “Because that’s what I put in my geography exam!”
