Three Men in a Boat

Three men were sitting on a park bench. The one in the middle was reading a newspaper; the others were pretending to fish. They baited imaginary hooks, cast lines and reeled in their catch. A passing policeman stopped to watch the spectacle and asked the man in the middle if he knew the other two.

"Oh yes, " he said. "They are my friends."

"In that case, " warned the officer, "you'd better get them out of here!"

"Yes, sir, " the man replied, and he began rowing furiously.

三人同舟

三位男子在公園的長椅上坐着。中間的一個在讀報紙，另外兩個在假裝釣魚。他們給想象的魚鉤上魚餌，放線，並卷線把魚抓上來。 一位過路警察駐足觀察了這個景象，他問中間的那個男子是否認識其他兩位。

“喔，認識，”他說，“他們是我的朋友。”

“那樣的話，”警察告誡說，“你最好把他們從這裏弄走。”

“好的，警官。”那男子回答說，接着就開始瘋狂般地做起划槳的動作來。
