A silly husband
愚蠢的丈夫
One morning Mrs. Perry said to her husband,"Jack, there's a meeting of our ladies' club at Mrs. Young's house at lunch time today, and I want to go to it. I'll leave you some food for your lunch. Is that all right?"
一天早上，佩里太太對丈夫說：“杰克，今天午飯時，我們女士俱樂部要在楊太太家開個會，我想去。我給你準備一些午餐。好嗎？”
"Oh, yes," her husband answered,"that's quite all right. What are you going to leave for my lunch?"
“哦，行，”丈夫說，“沒關系。你給我留什么午飯？”
"This tin of fish," Mrs. Perry said." And there are some cold, boiled potatoes and some beans here,too."
“這一罐是魚。”佩里太太說：“還有一罐煮過的土豆和豆子。”
"Good," Then Mrs. Perry went to her meeting. All the ladies had lunch at Mrs. Young's house and at three o'clock Mrs. Perry came home.
“好的。”于是佩里太太就開會去了。所有飛女士們都在楊太太家吃午飯。三點的時候，佩里太太回家了。
" Was your fish nice, Jack?" she asked.
“杰克，你的魚好吃嗎？”她問。
"Yes, but my feet are hurting," he answered.
“是的，可是我的腳很疼。”他回答。
"Why are they hurting?" Mrs. Perry asked.
“為什么疼呢？”佩里太太問道。
"Well, on the tin it was written-OPEN THE TIN AND STAND IN HOT WATER FOR FIVE MINUTES."
“哦，罐頭蓋上寫著：打開罐頭，在熱水里立五分鐘。”
