一群动物过江，至江心船开始进水，必须有一部分动物下水才行。聪明的猴子想了一个主意，让各人讲一个笑话，若讲出的笑话不能让所有人发笑，就要把讲的人扔下水。于是开始抽签，结果是从猫第一个讲，然后是猴子、鸡…… 猫费尽心思讲了一个笑话，结果所有的人都笑了，只有猪不笑。无奈动物们只得把猫扔下了水。猴子的笑话更是让人笑的前仰后合，但是猪还是不笑，猴子也只得去喂鱼。鸡害怕了，连聪明的猴子都难逃此劫……孰料猪此时笑了，众动物怪曰：鸡还没讲，你笑什么？猪曰：猫的笑话真好笑！
A group of animals wanted to cross a big river, but in the middle of the river the boat started to sink, and they had to push some animals into the river. The smart monkey thought of an idea, and said that everyone had to tell a joke, and if not everyone laughed at the joke told, the animal had to walk the plank. (arr!) So they played rock-paper-scissors, and the cat was the first to tell the joke, followed up by Monkey, Chicken, etc... the cat took a great deal of effort to tell the joke, and everyone laughed their butts off, except for Pig. So they had no choice but to kick the cat off of the boat. The joke that Monkey told got the others to laugh so hard they got indigestion, but the pig still didn't laugh, so they fed Monkey to the fishes. Chicken's legs shook with fear, even Smart Monkey couldn't escape the inevitable fate of the dangerous waters...but whaddya know, Pig started laughing, all the animals asked, "Chicken still hasn't even spoken yet, what are you laughing at?" Pig replied,"The joke that Cat told is so funny!"
My daughter has gone to a Chinese school for a few years now, and knows many Chinese characters. She just entered junior high. My job is to make sure that she spends about 10-15 minutes to listen, read, translate and record her reading in Chinese everyday. I have Penpower Chinese Expert software. It's a great tool with segmentation of sentences, onscreen dictionary and phrase dictionary, text-to-speech, voice recognition, handwriting recognition and MP3. Here we go.
