唯一的補救辦法

張亞榮

[英語原文]

A neighbour intended to make fun of Tom and told him："Last night a mouse crept into my stomach while I was sleeping. What shall I do？"

"What you must do at once is to find yourself a live cat and swallow it. That's the only remedy for you." was Tom 's immediate rejoinder.

[漢語翻譯]

湯姆的鄰居想跟他開個玩笑，便對他說：“昨天晚上我睡覺的時候，有只老鼠爬進了我的肚子里，我該怎么辦呢？”

湯姆隨即回答道：“你必須立刻找一只活的貓吞下去，這是唯一的補救辦法。”

[小幽默大智慧]

湯姆反應敏捷，就事論事，用貓來捉老鼠，妙趣橫生。
