The teacher told the class the story of a man who swam across a river three times before breakfast.
Johnny laughed.
"Do you doubt that a good swimmer could do that?" asked the teacher.
"No, sir," answered Johnny, "but I wonder why he did not swim it four times and get back to the side where his clothes were."
老师给同学们讲了一个故事，说有个人在早饭前横渡一条河三次。
约翰尼笑了。
老师问道：“你怀疑一个好游泳者能做到吗？”
“不，先生，”约翰尼回答，“但我想知道他为什么不游四次，好回到他放衣服的那边。”
