【Kim’s Note】If you can tell jokes well, you will always be welcome at parties and everyone will be happy when you arrive! I personally can’t tell jokes well at all, but I will never quit trying! This is a simple joke that is very funny. Practice until you can say it perfectly and make someone laugh out loud. Remember I will be practicing with you!

A Clever dog
[1] A dog owner claimed that his pet, when given money, would go to the news stall『售報亭』 to buy a paper. His friend insisted on『堅持』 a demonstration『演示』 and handed the dog some money. The dog trotted off『小步跑開』, but an hour later he had still not returned with the paper.
[2] “How much did you give him?” asked the owner.
[3] “Five dollars.”
[4] “Well, that explains it. When you give him five dollars, he goes to a movie.”

聰 明 狗
[1] 一只狗的主人聲稱如果給他的狗一些錢的話，它就會跑到售報亭去買一份報紙回來。他的朋友堅持要試驗一下。于是就給了那只狗一些錢。狗叼著錢一溜煙兒地跑掉了。可是過了一個小時，狗還沒有把報紙買回來。
[2]“你給了他多少錢？”狗的主人問。
[3]“五塊。”
[4]“這就有問題了。你給它五塊錢，它就去看電影了。”主人解釋道。
