One Big Happy Family | 快乐大家庭

English Original

The prison warden felt sorry for one inmate, George. Every Visitor's Day, most prisoners had visitors, but George always sat alone in his cell.

One Visitor's Day, the warden called George to his office. "I notice you've never had any visitors, George," he said sympathetically, placing a hand on George's shoulder. "Tell me, don't you have any friends or family?"

George replied, "Oh, sure I do, Warden. It's just that they're all in here!"


中文翻译

典狱长对一名叫乔治的囚犯深感同情。每逢探访日,大多数囚犯都有访客,但乔治总是独自坐在牢房里。

一个探访日,典狱长把乔治叫到办公室。他同情地把手放在乔治肩上,说道:“乔治,我注意到从来没人探望过你。告诉我,你难道没有朋友或家人吗?”

乔治回答:“噢,我当然有,典狱长。只不过他们全都在这里面!”
