English Original
A farmer and his wife went to a fair. The farmer was fascinated by the airplanes and asked a pilot how much a ride would cost. "$10 for 3 minutes," replied the pilot.
"That's too much," said the farmer.
The pilot thought for a second and then said, "I'll make you a deal. If you and your wife ride for 3 minutes without uttering a sound, the ride will be free. But if you make a sound, you'll have to pay $10."
The farmer and his wife agreed and went for a wild ride. After they landed, the pilot said to the farmer, "I want to congratulate you for not making a sound. You are a brave man."
"Maybe so," said the farmer, "But I gotta tell ya, I almost screamed when my wife fell out."

一位农夫和他的妻子去逛集市。农夫被飞机深深吸引，便询问飞行员坐一次要多少钱。飞行员回答：“10美元，3分钟。”
“太贵了，”农夫说。
飞行员想了一下，然后说：“我和你做个交易。如果你和你的妻子能坐上3分钟，全程不发出一点声音，这次飞行就免费。但如果你发出任何声音，你就得付10美元。”
农夫和他的妻子同意了，并经历了一次惊险刺激的飞行。着陆后，飞行员对农夫说：“我要祝贺你一声没吭。你真是个勇敢的人。”
“也许吧，”农夫说，“但我得告诉你，我妻子掉下去的时候，我差点就叫出声了。”
