A fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils a lesson on logic. ''Here is the situation,'' she said. ''A man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and begins splashing and yelling for help. His wife hears the cry, knows that he can't swim, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran to the bank?'' A girl raised her hand and asked, ''to draw out all of his savings?''

一个小学四年级的教师正在给学生们上逻辑课。 她举了这么一个例子:“ 事情是这样子的:一个男人在河中心的船上钓鱼。突然,他失去重心掉进了水里。于是,他开始挣扎并高呼救命。妻子听到了他的喊声, 而且妻子知道丈夫不会游泳,所以她就急忙跑向河岸。谁能告诉我这是为什么?”

一个小女孩儿举手答道,“是不是去取他的存款?”

A smart housewife was told that there was a kind of stove which would only consume half of the coal she was burning。She was very excited， and said: ''That'll be terrific! Since one stove can save half of the coal, if I buy two, no coal will be needed !''

As US tourists in Israel , Morris and his wife were sitting outside a Bethlehem souvenir shop, waiting for fellow tourists. An Arab salesman approached them carrying belts. After an impassioned sales talk yielded no results, he asked where they were from. ''America, '' Morris replied. Looking at her dark hair and olive skin, the Arab responded. '' She's not from the States.'' ''Yes I am. '' said the wife. He looked at her and asked, ''Is he your husband? '' ''Yes.'' she replied. Turning to the husband, he said, '' I'll give you 100 camels for her.'' Morris looked stunned, and there was a long silence. Finally he replied, ''She's not for sale.'' After the salesman left, the somewhat indignant wife asked, ''Morris, what took you so long to answe? '' Morris replied, ''I was trying to figure out how to get 100 camels back home.''

一百头骆驼 莫里斯和妻子都是美国人。他们跟随旅游团在以色旅游。这天,他们坐在伯利恒小镇上的一家纪念品店前面,等候落在他们后面的旅游团其他的游客。 一位阿拉伯商贩带着许多皮带走近了他们。 在一番狂轰滥炸式的促销谈话后,仍然没有任何结果。于是这个阿拉伯商贩就问他们是从哪里来的。 “美国,” 莫里斯回答说。 阿拉伯商贩看着莫里斯妻子黑色的头发和橄榄色的皮肤,对莫里斯说:“她不是从美国来的。” “我的确是从美国来的。”莫里斯妻子说道。 阿拉伯商贩看着莫里斯妻子,问道:“他是你丈夫吗?” “是啊。”莫里斯妻子回答说。 阿拉伯商贩转过去,对莫里斯说:“我给你一百头骆驼来换她。” 莫里斯听后,脸上露出惊愕的表情。过了好长一会儿,莫里斯回绝说:“ 我不卖。” 等阿拉伯商贩离开之后,莫里斯妻子愤愤不平地责问莫里斯:“是什么让你要思考那么久才做出回答的?” 莫里斯答道:“ 当时我在想怎么才能把那一百头骆驼带回美国去。”
