Jimmy also told me something even funnier about his son, Jack. One day he took his son Jack to a boy's clothing shop. That shop was giving away(贈送)balloons to buyers' children. Jack asked if he might have two balloons.“Sorry,”the salesperson said,“but we give only one balloon to each child. Do you have a brother at home?”Jack was always honest. He didn't tell lies, but he wanted another balloon badly.“No.”he replied regretfully,“but my sister has a brother, and I'd like one for him.”
What a lovely boy Jack is!

吉米和他兒子的有趣故事
吉米是我們的新鄰居。他講話帶著奇怪的口音(accent),但我們喜歡和他交談。他告訴過我一個關(guān)于他自己的有趣故事。
他說他喜歡在空閑的(spare)時間在他的花園(garden)里種花。一個星期天的早上,吃過早飯后,他穿上(put on)舊衣服,就在花園里開始挖土。他挖啊挖,半個小時后,突然他發(fā)現(xiàn)腳邊有一枚硬幣。他把硬幣放進右邊的衣服口袋里。幾分鐘后(a few minutes later),他又發(fā)現(xiàn)了另一枚。他還是放入同一個口袋。相同的事情又發(fā)生了,第三次、第四次、第五次。他非常高興,然后告訴了他的妻子。她也很高興,她說,“幾天前有個小偷從一家商店里偷走(steal)好多硬幣。警察(the police)抓住(catch)他但沒找到硬幣。”
然后吉米繼續(xù)挖(go on digging)。找到了更多的硬幣,但就在他開始挖掘時,他感覺有什么涼涼的東西掉進他的褲子里。這個東西順著他的腿往下滑。他迅速放下手——硬幣在他手上了,F(xiàn)在他知道了他的口袋里有個洞(hole)。
吉米還告訴我一個更有趣的(funny)故事,是關(guān)于他兒子杰克的。一天,他帶著兒子杰克去一家男孩服裝店。那家店鋪正在給顧客的孩子贈送氣球(balloon)。杰克問是否他可以得到兩個氣球。“對不起,”銷售人員說,“每個孩子我們只給一個。你家里有弟弟嗎?”杰克一直是誠實的(honest)。他不說謊話,但他非常想再要一個氣球,于是他頗感遺憾地說,“沒有,但我姐姐有一個弟弟,我想為他要一個。”
杰克真是個可愛的男孩!?
三十四. Buying a House
As house prices have risen too much these years, many people find it hard to afford a house. But all the people who do not have a house dream of the day when they‘ll pick up the keys to their own home. The idea of owning a home is wonderful.
