Gardening Gloves | 园艺手套

English Original

For months I hinted that I needed a new wedding ring, since I had developed an allergy to gold. On my birthday, while I was gardening, my husband asked me for gift suggestions. I held my hands up and said, "Well, you'll notice that my hands are bare."

Later that evening I opened my present with enthusiasm. "Happy birthday," he said, as I unwrapped a new pair of gardening gloves.


中文翻译

几个月以来,我一直在暗示我需要一枚新的结婚戒指,因为我对黄金过敏。生日那天,我正在打理花园,丈夫问我想要什么礼物。我举起双手说:“嗯,你肯定注意到了,我的手上空空的。”

那天晚上,我满怀热情地拆开了礼物。“生日快乐,”他说。我打开一看,是一双崭新的园艺手套。
