Buy a Goat
買頭羊
“I hate mowing my lawn,” said Gil. “Every week I have to mow my lawn. Every week for six months I have to mow my lawn. What can I do?” “You should dig it up,” said Brenda. “Take out all the grass. Pave your yard. Make a concrete yard. Then you won’t have to mow it. You don’t have to mow concrete. Grass grows, but concrete doesn’t grow.” Gil thought that was a bad idea. “That’s a bad idea,” he said. Concrete is hot. Concrete is ugly. Concrete is hard. “Nobody wants a concrete yard,” he said. “I have another idea,” said Brenda. “Buy a goat. A goat will eat all your grass. A goat loves to eat grass. Get rid of your dog. Your dog doesn’t eat grass. Your dog is lazy. A goat is a hard worker.” Gil said that was a good idea.
吉爾說:“我討厭割草。每周我都要割草。一干就是六個月。我能怎么辦?”布倫達說:“你應該把它鏟走,把草全部清除。為你的院子鋪路。建造一個混凝土院落。這樣你就不用割草了。你不需要清掃混凝土。草會生長。但混凝土不會。”吉爾認為這不是個好主意。他說:“這主意不好”?;炷梁軤C。也不好看。還很硬。他說:“沒人喜歡用混凝土?!辈紓愡_說:“我還有個主意,買一頭羊。羊吃草。羊喜歡吃草。別要你的狗了。狗不會吃草。你的狗很懶。羊是個辛勤工作的動物。吉爾說這是個好主意。
