A Period | 一个句号

English Original

A kindergarten class was given a homework assignment: to find something exciting and share it with the class the next day. When it was time for presentations, the first little boy walked to the front, drew a small white dot on the blackboard, and sat down.

Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it was.

"It's a period," said the little boy.

"Well, I can see that," she replied, "but what's so exciting about a period?"

"Damned if I know," said the little boy, "but this morning my sister was missing one, my dad had a heart attack, my mom fainted, and the man next door shot himself."


中文翻译

幼儿园的一个班级布置了一项家庭作业:找一件令人兴奋的事情,第二天与全班分享。到了展示时间,第一个小男孩走到前面,在黑板上画了一个小白点,然后坐了下来。

老师感到困惑,问他那是什么。

“是一个句号。”小男孩说。

“嗯,我看得出来,”她回答,“但一个句号有什么令人兴奋的呢?”

“我要是知道才怪呢,”小男孩说,“但今天早上我姐姐少了一个句号,我爸爸心脏病发作,我妈妈晕倒了,隔壁的男人开枪自杀了。”
