Where Has the Turtle Gone?

Once there was a rabbit and a turtle who lived together.

One day, the rabbit had a big headache, probably

because he had eaten too many carrots, especially

genetically modified carrots. They are very big and filling,

and God knows what things they put in there. So all kinds

of mixtures that might not agree with each other were

fighting in his stomach. And when the stomach doesn't

have enough space, it goes up to the head.

So the rabbit got a headache.

So he asked the turtle, "Oh, brother, could you please

go to the pharmacy and get me some headache medicine,

because my head is pounding? I went to a party last night

where they served such big carrots, and I ate too many.

I also drank some carrot juice, and I got a hangover.

So would you please go to the drug store and get me

some headache medicine quickly? Quick!"

So, from his room, the turtle said, "OK!" But then one

hour passed by; then two hours passed by, then three

hours, then four hours. And the turtle was nowhere to

be seen. And the hung-over rabbit was just staying in bed,

feeling such a headache that he got really mad. He said,

"This is such a stupid turtle! Wait until he comes

back here. I will give him a piece of my mind! I have

such a terrible headache like this, and where is he?

The drug store is only around the corner. Such

a stupid guy!" Then, fifteen minutes after he had spoken,

he heard a reply from the turtle's room. And the turtle

said, "Now that you are talking bad about me

like that, I am not going anymore."

烏龜哪去了？

　　有一只兔子和烏龜住在一起。有一天，兔子頭痛得

很厲害，也許是因為吃太多紅蘿卜了，特別是那種基因

改造的紅蘿卜，特別的肥大，誰知道他們在那里面加了

什么。各種的東西混在一起，彼此間互不相容，就在

兔子的胃里打起仗來，當胃沒有足夠空間時，

那些東西就跑到頭里去，所以兔子就頭痛了。

　　因此兔子就拜托烏龜說：「噢！兄弟啊，可不可以

拜托你去藥房幫我買一些止頭痛藥回來，因為我的頭痛

得實在厲害。我昨天晚上參加了一場宴會，他們供應了

特大號的紅蘿卜，我吃了一大堆，又灌了不少紅蘿卜汁，

然后就宿醉了。拜托你趕快去藥房幫我買一些止頭痛藥

回來，快去吧！」烏龜在他的房里說道：「OK！」

　　然后，一個小時過去了，二個小時過去了，三個

小時過去了，四個小時也過去了！但就是看不到烏龜

的蹤影。這只宿醉的兔子攤在床上，頭痛欲裂，感到

昏天暗地，忍不住罵了起來：「這只笨烏龜，等一下

他回來的時候，我一定要他好看！我的頭痛成這樣，

他卻不知道跑到哪里去！藥房就在轉角而已，真是個

大笨蛋！」他說完十五分鐘后，聽到烏龜?shù)姆坷飩鱽?/P>

聲音，說道：「你居然把我罵得這么難聽，

我不要再繼續(xù)往前走了！」
