One day, a teacher took his pupils to a chicken farm to pay a visit. When they came near the incubator, chick just got out of its egg shell. 
"It's wonderful to see a little thing come out from the egg shell, isn't it？" the teacher said. 
"Yes, sir." said one of the boys, " but it would be more wonderful if we knew how a chick gets in to its eggs hell before hand." 
一天，老师带学生到养鸡场参观，当他们走近孵化器时，刚好一只小鸡破壳而出。 
“看见一个小生命从蛋壳里出来，岂不是很奇妙的吗？”老师说。 
“是的，老师。”一个男学生说，“可是，如果我们知道它是怎样事先钻进蛋壳里的那就更奇妙了。”

Do You Know My Work？ 
One night a hotel caught fire， and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes． 
Two men stood outside and looked at the fire． 
“Before I came out，” said one，“I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money． People don't think of money when they're afraid． When anyone leaves paper money in a fire， the fire burns it． So I took all the bills that I could find．No one will be poorer because I took them．” 
“You don't know my work，” said the other． 

“What is your work？” 
“I'm a policeman． 
“Oh！” cried the first man． He thought quickly and said，“And do you know my work？”“No，”said the policeman． 
“I'm a writer． I'm always telling stories about things that never happened．”

你知道我是干什么的吗？ 
一天晚上，一家旅馆失火，住在这家旅馆里的人穿着睡 衣就跑了出来。 
两个人站在外面，看着大火。 
“在我出来之前，”其中一个说：“我跑进一些房间，找到了一大笔钱。人在恐惧中是不会想到钱的。如果有人把纸币留在火里，火就会把它烧成灰烬。所以我把我所能找到的钞票都拿走了。没有人会因为我拿走它们而变得更穷。” 
“你不知道我是干什么的。”另一个说。 
“你是干什么的？” 
“我是警察。” 
“噢！”第一个人喊了一声。他灵机一动，说：“那你知道我是干什么的？”“不知道。”警察说。 
“我是个作家。我总是爱编一些从未发生过的故事。”
