童言无忌：No Hoes

Cammy

         No Hoes 没有锄头

       A thirteen-year-old boy was sitting on the sofa watching TV when the phone rang.

　　“Hello, my son.” it was his father’s voice, “where is your mother?”

　　“Mother is working in the garden.”

　　“What?” barked the father, “Your mother is not as young and strong as she used to be. Why aren’t you helping her?”

　　“I can't.” was the reply. “Grandma is using the other hoe.”

　　 一个13岁的男孩正坐在沙发上看电视，这时电话响了。

　　“喂，儿子。”是父亲打来的。“你妈呢？”

　　“妈妈在院子里干活呢!”

　　“什么？”父亲吼道。“你妈已经不如从前那么强壮了。你这时怎么不在帮她？”

        “不行啊！”儿子答道。“另一把锄头奶奶正在用呢！”
