儿童趣事

Kid Stories:
    
    1．When I called home one day, my six year old son answered the phone. Hello, he said, panting [气喘] a little. I said, Hi, Nick. Wow, you sound out of breath.（上气不接下气） He replied, No, I have more.
    2．A father was reading Bible stories to his young son. He read, The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee （“逃离“与flea（跳蚤）同音）out of the city, but his wife looked back and was turned to salt. His son asked, What happened to the flea?
    3．当我们在周围邻居家trick or treat（小孩敲开邻居家门，喊trick or teat，意思是“你是招待我们一些好吃的，还是让我们恶作剧）时，我们和3岁的表弟沿街往前走，他每看到一个“停”的标志，就让我们都停下来，左右看看，然后继续前进。
    When we were trick or treating in my neighborhood, my three year old cousin came along. When we walked down the side of the street, and whenever he saw a stop sign, he made us all stop in front of it, look both ways, then continue on.
    4．在教会学校我们讨论我们愿意为四旬节放弃什么，一个8岁的女孩子说她愿意放弃家庭作业。我回答说我们要放弃自己喜欢的东西，她说，“我喜欢家庭作业！”一个7岁的男孩说他愿意放弃和他弟弟打斗，我问他是否能放弃那么长时间，他说，“就到下个星期，所以没关系。”
    In my Sunday School class, we discussed what we would give up for Lent. One eight year old girl said she''d give up homework. I replied that the idea was to give up something she liked. She said, But I like homework! A seven year old boy, in the same class, said he''d give up fighting with his brother. I asked if he could give it up for so long. He said, Well, it''s only until next week, so that''s ok.
