Honesty
诚实



A
man
went
to
an
insurance
office
to
have
his
life
insured.
The
manager
of
the
office
asked
him
how
old
his
parents
were
when
they
died.



Mother had a bad heart and died at the age of thirty. Father died of
tuberculosis when he was thirty- five.





I
am
very
sorry,

said
the
manager,

we
cannot
insure
your
life
as
your parents were not healthy.




As the man was leaving the office, depressed, he met a clerk, who
had overheard the conversation.



You must not be so frank and tell the truth,

said the clerk,

no office
will insure you if you speak like that. Use your imagination a little.




The man went to another office and was shown into the manager's
room.



Well, young man, how old were your parents when they died?



Mother was ninety-three, and she died from a fall off her bicycle.
Father was ninety-eight and he died while he was playing football.

2. An American on a British Train
一个美国人乘英国火




A young American entered a railway compartment on a British train,
to
discover
that
all
seats
were
occupied,
Including
one
on
which
was
seated a small dog. To its owner, a middle- aged lady wearing a large hat,
he said politely,

Excuse me, ma'am, but may I sit down?




She said nothing, but merely sniffed and turned over the pages of
her newspaper.


Again he said,

Excuse me, ma'am, but may I have this seat, please?
And again she ignored him.


For a third time the young American said,

Ma'am, would you please
remove your dog so that I may sit down?




And for the third time the snooty matron totally ignored him, so he
opened a window, picked up the dog, threw it out, and then sat on the
empty seat.
There
was
a
stunned
silence,
and
then
an
Englishman
sitting
opposite said,

You know, you Yanks are the strangest people. You drive
on the wrong side of the road. You eat with the fork in the wrong hand,
you name the floors in the wrong numbers, and now you've just thrown
the wrong bitch out of the window!

A
young man
and
an
old
man
were waiting
for
a
bus at a station.
They sat next to each other.



What's that in your bag?

asked the young man, pointing to a big
bag beside the old man.



Gold, nothing but gold,

answered the old man.


The young man could hardly believe his own ears,

What?

he said to
himself in surprise.

So much gold? My God! How I wish to be able to get
so much gold!

Then he began to think about how to get the gold.


The old
man
looked
tired
and
sleepy
and
it
seemed
that he
could
hardly
keep
his
eyes
open.

Are
you
sleepy,
sir?

asked
the
young
man.

Then
you'd
better
lie
down
on
the
chair
and
have
a
good
rest.
Don't worry about the bus. I'll wake you up in time.





All right. It's very kind of you, young man.

The old man lay down
and before long he fell asleep.


The young man took the big bag gently. But when he was about to
run away, he found a corner of his fur coat was under the old man's body.
Several times he tried to pull it out, but he couldn't. At last he took off his
coat and went away with the bag.


The
young
man ran
out of
the
station
as
quickly
as
his legs could
carry
him.
When
he
reached
a
place
where
he
thought
the
old
man
couldn't find him, he stopped and quickly opened the bag.
To his surprise, there was nothing but a lot of small stones in it. He

Shave Me First
先给我刮脸



A
barber
was
in
his
shop,
busily
cutting
a
man's
hair,
when
a
handsome young stranger came in. He had a small boy with him. They
sat
down
together
and
waited
until
the
barber
had
finished.
Then
the
young man told the barber to shave him and to cut the small boy's hair.


The
barber
said,

Do
you
want
me
to
cut
the
boy's
hair
first,
or
to
shave you?





Oh, shave me.

said the young man.

Then I'll go down the road and
have a glass of wine while you're cutting the boy's hair.




The young man sat down in the barber's chair, and the barber began
to shave him.


When he had finished, the young man got up and said,

I'll go down

your

taking such a long time. Where is he likely to be now?



I
can't
guess,

answered
the
small
boy.

And
that
man
wasn't
my
daddy. I've never seen him before in my life. I was playing in the street
this morning, and he came up to me and asked me whether I'd like to
have my hair cut without having to pay anything. I said I would, because
my hair was rather long, so he brought me here.

You Failed!

When
I
was
at
the
university
I
studied
very
hard.
But
a
lot
of
my
friends did very little work. Some did just enough to pass exams. Others
didn't
do
quite
enough.
Tim
was
one
of
them.
He
spent
more
time
playing games in the club than working in the library.

Once,
at
the
end
of
term,
we
had
to
take
an
important
test
in
chemistry. The test had a hundred questions. Beside each question we
had to write

True

or

False

.While I was studying in my room the night
before the test, Tim was watching television. Tim usually worried a lot the
night before a test. But on that night he looked perfectly calm. Then he
told me of his plan.

It's very simple. There are a hundred questions and I
have
to
get
sixty
correct
to
pass
the
test.
I'll
take
a
coin
into
the
examination room. I haven't studied a chemistry book for months, so I'm
sure I'll just toss the coin. If the coin comes down on my hand with the
right
side
up,
I
write

True

.If
it
rests
with
the
other
side
up,
I
write

False

.That way, I'm sure I'll get sixty questions right.




The next day Tim came cheerfully into the examination room. He sat
tossing a coin for half an hour and handed in his paper one hour earlier
than the rest of us.


The next day, he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor.



Oh, good,

he said.

Have you got the results of the test? What mark
did I get?




The professor looked at him and smiled.



Ah, it's you, Tim. Just a minute.




Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it in
the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it.

I'm terribly sorry, Tim,

he said,

You failed.

the time. She wanted to listen in class and to study

and
television.
Every
time she tried to concentrate on her lesson, her mind wandered.

an important test. She reviewed all week. Where Was Elena? She seemed
to be there, but her mind was absent.



Did
you
copy
the
questions?
Did
you
do
the
exercises?
Did
you
write
your
homework?
Elena,
wake
up!
You're

warned Mrs Green.

Next to Elena sat Ivan, a very hardworking student. Elena didn't want

had no way out. She began to copy all of I van's answers.

and she called on the doctor to thank him for what he had done for her
son.



Doctor,

she said.

You have saved my little boy's life. I do not know
how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I
have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude.
I hope you will accept it.




The doctor drew himself up and said coldly,

Madam, little presents
like
that
are
very
nice
between
friends,
but
a
doctor
needs
to
be
paid
properly for his attentions.




The lady was too surprised and hurt to reply for a moment. Then she
said quietly,

Perhaps you will tell me what your fee is, doctor?





Fifty pounds,

he answered.
The

Hunter's Boldness
猎手胆大过人



A certain hunter had found a piece of forest where there were plenty
of animals to hunt. The only trouble was that the place was very difficult
to get to.


He returned from his first visit to the place in late autumn, and could
not
get
back
until
the
snows
melted
in
the
following
spring.
Then
he
went
to
the
pilot
of
a
small
plane,
who
earned
his
living
by
carrying
hunters
over
parts
of
the
country
where
there
were
no
roads
and
no
-

-


railways, and asked him to take him back to his favourite piece of forest.


The pilot did not know the place, so the hunter showed it to him on
the map.

But there is nowhere to land there, man!

said the pilot.

I have
flown
over
that
part
of
the
country
on
my
way
to
other
places,
and
I
know
that
we
can't
land
anywhere
between
this
river
and
these
mountains.





I thought you were a wonderful pilot,

said the hunter.

Some of my
friends said you could land a plane on a postage stamp.





That's right,

answered the pilot.

I can land a plane where nobody
else
can.
But
I
tell
you
there
is
nowhere
to
land
in
the
place
you
are
talking about.





And
what
if
I
tell
you
that
another
pilot
did
land
me
there
last
spring?

said the hunter.



Is that true?

asked the pilot.



Yes, it is. I swear it.




Well, this pilot could not let himself be beaten by another, so he a
geed to take the hunter.
When they reached the place, the hunter pointed out a small spot
without trees in the middle of the forest, with a steep rise at one end. The
pilot
thought
that
there
was
not
enough
room
to
land
there,
but
the
hunter said that the other pilot had done so the year before, so down
went the
plane. When
it
came
to
the
rise,
