A Dog's Funeral | 狗狗的葬礼

English Original

A wealthy man passed away, stipulating in his will that his dog should receive a funeral upon its death, and that the person conducting the service would inherit one million dollars.

When the dog eventually died, the executor approached various clergy members, asking if they would perform the funeral. All declined. Finally, he asked an old country preacher.

"Why, brother," the preacher said, "I don't do funerals for dogs!"

"Alright," replied the executor, "but whoever performs this funeral gets a full one million dollars."

The preacher's eyes widened. "Now, hold on a minute," he said. "You didn't tell me this dog was a Christian!"


中文翻译

一位富翁去世了,他在遗嘱中规定,他的狗死后应举行葬礼,而主持葬礼的人将获得一百万美元的遗产。

当这只狗最终死去时,遗嘱执行人开始询问不同教派的牧师是否愿意主持葬礼。所有人都拒绝了。最后,他找到了一位乡村老牧师。

"哎呀,兄弟,"牧师说,"我不给狗办葬礼!"

"好吧,"执行人回答,"但主持这场葬礼的人能得到整整一百万美元。"

牧师的眼睛一亮。"等等,"他说,"你可没告诉我这只狗是位基督徒!"
