Talking on the Telephone 在電話中交談
Talking on the Telephone
Each Sunday the minister called the children to the front of the church while he told them a story. Once he brought a telephone to better illustrate the idea of prayer.
"You talk to people on the telephone and don't see them on the other end of the line, right?" he began.
The children nodded yes. "Well, talking to God is like talking on the telephone. He's on the other end, but you can't see him. He is listening though."
Just then a little boy piped up and asked, "What's his number?"
在電話中交談
每個星期天牧師都會把孩子們叫到教堂前面，然後給他們講一個故事。一天，他爲了更好地闡述祈禱的含義，帶來了一臺電話機。
“你們和別人在電話裏交談，並沒有看到電話線另一端的人，對嗎?”他開始問道。孩子們點頭稱是。“好的，和上帝交談就象通過電話交談一樣。他就在另一端，雖然你看不見他，但是他正在聆聽你的心聲。”
就在這時，一個小男孩尖着嗓子問道：“那他的電話號碼是什麼?”

父親：孩子，實際上所有的國家都是這樣的。
保證沒走錯 To be on the Safe Side
In a cinema during a performance one of the audience gets up, makes his way along the row of seats and goes out into the foyer(門廳，大廳) . A few minutes later he returns and asks the man sitting at the head of the row:
Excuse me, was it your foot I stepped on when I was going out a moment ago?
Yes, but it doesn't really matter. It didn't hurt at all.
Oh, no, it isn't that. I only want to make sure that this is my row.
在一家電影院裏，一名觀衆在演出期間站了起來，沿着他那排位子走到休息室去了。幾分鐘後，他回到那排位子並問坐在首位的那位男士道：
對不起，請問我剛纔出去的`時候是踩着你的腳嗎?
是的，不過沒什麼關係，一點也不疼。
噢，不，我不是這個意思。我只是想確認一下這是不是我的那排位子。
