Apples of the Tree of Life | 生命树上的苹果

English Original

A young girl sees her father in the shower and asks what his testicles are. "Those are the Apples of the Tree of Life," he tells her, by way of poetic concealment.

She tells this to her mother, who replies, "Did he say anything about that dead branch they're hanging on?"


中文翻译

一个小女孩看到父亲在淋浴,便问他的睾丸是什么。他带着诗意的掩饰告诉她:"那是生命树上的苹果。"

她把这件事告诉了母亲,母亲回答说:"那他有没有提到它们挂着的那根枯枝?"
