English Original
A policeman brought a monkey to his boss. The boss asked, "What kind of monkey business are you getting up to?"
The policeman replied, "This monkey was wandering the streets and breaking all the rules. I'm turning him in."
The boss exclaimed, "Oh, my God! You're so dumb! If you catch a monkey, you take it to the zoo. Why bring it to me? Take it to the zoo!" So the policeman left with the monkey.
Three or four days later, the boss saw the policeman again, this time holding the monkey's hand. The officer led the monkey to a police car, opened the door, helped it inside, and was about to drive away.
The boss ran out and asked, "Oh, my God! Why is the monkey still here? I told you to take it to the zoo!"
The policeman replied, "Yes, sir. I already took him to the zoo. Today, I'm taking him to see a movie."
中文翻译
一位警察把一只猴子带到了上司面前。上司问道：“你在搞什么猴子把戏？”
警察回答：“这只猴子在街上乱逛，不守任何规矩。我把它抓回来了。”
上司惊呼：“天啊！你太笨了！抓到猴子应该带它去动物园。带给我干嘛？带它去动物园！”于是，警察带着猴子离开了。
三四天后，上司又看到了那位警察，这次他正牵着猴子的手。警察把猴子带到警车旁，打开车门，让它坐进去，正准备开车离开。
上司跑出来问道：“天啊！这猴子怎么还在这儿？我不是让你带它去动物园吗！”
警察回答：“是的，长官。我已经带它去过动物园了。今天，我带它去看电影。”
