Who Should be Given the Present
A father of five came home with a toy, summoned his children and asked which one of them should be given the present, “Who is the most obedient, never talks back to mother and does everything he or she is told?” he inquired. There was silence and then a chorus of voices: “You play with it, Daddy!”
一個有五個孩子的父親帶着一件玩具回到家裏，把孩子們召集來問這件禮物應該給誰。“誰最聽話，從不和媽媽頂嘴，讓幹什麼就幹什麼?”他問道。大家都不吭聲。過了一會兒，孩子們異口同聲地說：“爸爸，您玩兒吧。”

有一次，馬克·吐溫從紐約起程抵達倫敦訪問，《星報》認爲這個消息值得登在它的晚招貼上。但是，還有一條消息也要登上：關於愛斯科杯被盜的消息。招貼是這樣寫的`： 馬克·吐溫 光臨 愛斯科杯 被盜 我們相信，馬克·吐溫從來也沒聽說過這件事。
I don't think I know-我不知道啊
Teacher: "John, what is the past participle of the verb to ring?"
