Three Pastors | 三个牧师的故事

English Original

Three pastors in the south were having lunch in a diner.

One said, "You know, since summer started I've been having trouble with bats in my loft and attic at church. I've tried everything—noise, spray, cats—nothing seems to scare them away."

Another said, "Yes, me too. I've got hundreds living in my belfry and in the attic. I've had the place fumigated, and they still won't go away."

The third said, "I baptized all mine, and made them members of the church... haven't seen one back since!"


中文翻译

三位南部的牧师正在一家小餐馆里吃午饭。

其中一位说道:“你们知道吗,自从夏天开始,我教堂的阁楼和顶楼就一直有蝙蝠困扰。我试尽了各种办法——噪音、喷雾剂、猫——似乎什么都吓不走它们。”

另一位说:“是啊,我也是。我的钟楼和阁楼里住了好几百只。我请人把整个地方都烟熏消毒了一遍,它们还是不走。”

第三位牧师说:“我为我那里的所有蝙蝠都施了洗礼,让它们成为了教会的一员……从那以后,一只也没再回来过!”
