English Story

Prize 奖品

Little Albert came home from school with a new book under his arm. "It's a prize, mother," he explained.
 
"A prize? What for, dear?"
 
"For natural history. Teacher asked me how many legs an ostrich has, and I said three."
 
"But an ostrich has only two legs."
 
"I know it now. But all the pupils said four, so I was the closest."
 
小阿尔伯特腋下夹着一本新书从学校回家来了。“这是奖品,妈妈。”他解释道。
 
“奖品?因为什么得的。亲爱的?”
 
“因为自然课得的。老师问我鸵鸟有几条腿,我说有三条。”
 
“但是鸵鸟是两条腿啊。”
 
“我现在知道了。但其他学生都说有四条。所以还是我最接近正确答案。”
