英語笑話:Dead turtle 死去的烏龜

Dead turtle 死去的烏龜

"Mommy, my turtle is dead," the little boy, Myrddin, sorrowfully told his mother, holding the turtle out to her in his hand.
"媽媽,我的烏龜死了,"小男孩默丁伸出手裏的烏龜給媽媽看,悲傷地對她說.

The mother kissed him on the head, then said," That's all right. We'll wrap him in tissue paper, put him in a little box, then have a nice burial ceremony in the back yard. After that, we'll go out for an ice cream soda, and then get you.a new pet.
媽媽親了一下他的頭,說:"沒關係.我們用紙巾把它包起來,放到小盒子裏,再到後院舉行一個小葬禮.然後我們就去吃冰激凌,再買給你一個新寵物.

"I don't want you...." Her voice trailed off as she noticed the turtle move. "Myrddin, your turtle is not dead after all."
"我不希望你..."媽媽的聲音變小了,因爲她發現烏龜在動."默丁, 你的烏龜根本沒死."

"Oh," the disappointed boy, wanting ice cream and a new pet, said. "Can I kill it?".
"哦,"想着冰激凌和新寵物的男孩失望起來,"我能弄死它嗎?"
