The Old Couple's Quarrel | 老夫妻的争吵

English Original

A couple of old codgers got into a quarrel and came before the local magistrate. The loser, turning to his opponent in a combative frame of mind, cried: "I'll law you to the Circuit Court."

"I'm willing," said the other.

"I'll law you to the Supreme Court."

"I'll be there."

"And I'll law the hell!"

"My attorney will be there," was the calm reply.

“我还要告到底!”

“我的律师会在那儿的,”对方平静地答道。
