Rope or Ox?
The man in the prison asked a new comer why he was sent there. The new comer answered: "I am out of luck, I think. A few days ago I was walking in the street when I saw a piece of dirty rope. I thought nobody wanted it and so I picked it up and took it home."
"But it is not against the law to pick up a piece of rope and take home!"
"I told you I had bad luck, didn't I?" the man sighed, "The trouble is that I didn't notice there was an ox at the other end of that rope."
在監(jiān)獄里，一個(gè)人問(wèn)新來(lái)的犯人為什么被關(guān)進(jìn)來(lái)。新來(lái)的犯人回答說(shuō)：“我想我真是倒霉。幾天前我在街上走的時(shí)候，看到一根臟繩子，以為沒(méi)人要了，便撿起來(lái)帶了回家。”
“但是，撿一根繩子帶回家并不犯法啊!”“我告訴過(guò)你我倒霉了吧?”那個(gè)人嘆了口氣，“麻煩的就是我沒(méi)有注意到繩子的那一頭還有一頭公牛。”
