The Pale Watermelon | 脸色发白的西瓜

点击查看中英对照

A fruit vendor in the Philippines sold a watermelon to a woman, assuring her it was very sweet because it was red inside.

As she rode home on her bicycle, the vehicle skidded. The watermelon fell to the street and broke open. The woman was surprised to see that the fruit was pale pink, not red. She returned to the vendor and complained loudly.

"Madam," replied the vendor, "when one falls out of a vehicle to the street, one can expect to turn pale. How about a watermelon?"
