Clever Bobby
Brown was very proud of his young son。 Once he was talking to a visitor； telling the man how clever his son was。
“The boy is only two years old；” he said； “and he knows all animals。 He’s going to be a great naturalist。 Here； let me show you。”
He took a book of natural history from the bookshelf； placed Bobby on his knee； opened the book and showed him a picture of a giraffe。
“What’s that； Bobby？”
“Horsey；” said Bobby。
Next a tiger was shown； and Bobby said； “Pussy。”
Then Brown showed Bobby a picture of a lion； and Bobby said； “Doggy。”
And when a picture of a chimpanzee was shown； Bobby said； “Daddy！”

“你說的這些究竟是什麼意思？”我問道。
“我數學沒及格。”他回答道。

“And just what does this mean？” I asked。
“I’m flunking math。” he replied。
