Like a Straw1像個(gè)吸管

There were these two not so bright guys who had to get across the desert.Since they didn’t have enough money for a car， they decided to buy a camel2.

The camel dealer3 told them that the camel would get them across the desertif they made sure he was full of water before they left. They took the camel downto the water hole， but the camel would not drink. So finally the first guy says，“Ihave an idea. Why don’t I hold his head down in the water and you suck4 on hisbutt5？ That way the water will be drawn up into him like a straw.”The secondguy thought about this for a while and did what the first guy said.

After a while the first guy asks，“Well， is it working？”

The second guy said， “I think it is going to work， but you have to pick hishead up just a little because I’m just getting mud.”

有兩個(gè)不太聰明的人要橫穿沙漠。因?yàn)樗麄儧]有足夠的錢買車，所以他們決定買一只駱駝。

駱駝商人告訴他們，如果他們?cè)趩⒊讨按_保駱駝裝滿了水，駱駝會(huì)帶他們穿過沙漠。他們把駱駝帶到了水坑那兒，但是駱駝不想喝水。最后，第一個(gè)人說：“我有一個(gè)主意。為什么我不把它的頭按在水里，然后你吸它的屁股呢？這樣，水就會(huì)像吸管一樣被吸進(jìn)它的身體里。”第二個(gè)人想了一會(huì)兒，最后照第一個(gè)人說的做了。

過了一會(huì)兒，第一個(gè)人問：“哎，這方法有用嗎？”

第二個(gè)人回答說：“我想這是可行的，但是你必須把它的頭抬起來一點(diǎn)，因?yàn)槲椅侥喟土??！?/p>
