儿童英语笑话

　　1.Don't Argue with Children

　　A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

　　The little girl stated that a whale swallowed Jonah.

　　Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

　　The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah."

　　The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."

　　不要和小孩争论

　　一个小女孩和她的老师正在谈论有关鲸鱼的事情。

　　那个小女孩说约拿(一位西伯来先知)就是被鲸鱼吞掉的。

　　她的老师非常生气，她再次告诉小女孩说：“从身体构造角度来讲，鲸鱼是不可能吞掉一个人的。”

　　那个小女孩说：“那等我到了天堂，就去问问约拿。”

　　她的老师问：“那么，假如约拿下了地狱怎么办?”

　　那个小女孩回答：“如果是那样的话，你就去问他。”

　　2.The boy and the snails 　　A farmer's boy went looking for snails, and, when he had picked up both his hands full, he set about making a fire at which to roast them; for he meant to eat them. When it got well alight and the snails began to feel the heat, they gradually withdrew more and more into their shells with the hissing noise they always make when they do so. When the boy heard it, he said, "You abandoned creatures, how can you find heart to whistle when your houses are burning?"

　　3.Best Reward
