English Original
A fruit vendor in the Philippines sold a watermelon to a woman, assuring her it was very sweet because it was red inside.
As she rode home on her bicycle, the vehicle skidded. The watermelon fell to the street and broke open. The woman was surprised to see that the fruit was pale pink, not red. She returned to the vendor and complained loudly.
"Madam," replied the vendor, "when one falls out of a vehicle to the street, one can expect to turn pale. How about a watermelon?"

在菲律宾，一位水果商卖给一位女士一个西瓜，并向她保证这个西瓜非常甜，因为是红瓤的。
当她骑自行车回家时，车子打滑了。西瓜掉到街上摔裂了。这位女士惊讶地发现瓜瓤是浅粉色的，而不是红色的。她返回去找水果商大声抱怨。
"夫人，" 商贩回答道，"如果一个人从车上摔到街上，也会吓得脸色发白。西瓜又怎能例外呢？"
