The Rock and the Gun | 石头与枪

English Original

Two men were walking through the jungle. One carried a gun on his back, while the other carried a large rock.

The man with the rock asked, "Why do you carry a gun?"

The man with the gun replied, "To defend myself if a wild animal attacks. But why do you carry that rock?"

The man with the rock smiled proudly and said, "When a wild animal comes, I can throw the rock away and run much faster!"


中文翻译

两个男人正在丛林里行走。一个人背着一把枪,另一个人背着一块大石头。

背着石头的人问道:“你为什么背着枪?”

背着枪的人回答:“如果有野兽攻击,我可以自卫。但你为什么背着那块石头?”

背着石头的人自豪地笑着说:“当野兽来的时候,我可以把石头扔掉,这样就能跑得更快了!”
