一位女士买完咖啡后正从便利店出来，这时她注意到一列很不寻常的殡仪队正往附近的公墓行进:队伍里有一辆长长的黑色灵车，而在它后边50英尺左右是另一辆长长的黑色灵车。 第二辆灵车的后面是一个踽踽独行的妇人。她牵着一只斗牛狗。在她后边不远处，大约有200个妇人成单列行走。 女士非常好奇，于是她小心翼翼地靠近牵狗的妇人，说道：“对于您亲人的去世我感到非常难过。 我也知道不该在这个时候打扰您，但我实在是第一次遇见这样的殡仪队。请问这是谁的葬礼啊？” "是我丈夫的。” "他出了什么事?” 妇人回答道：“他是被我的狗攻击致死的。” 女士又问："那么，后边那辆灵车里是什么人？” 妇人答道：“是我的婆婆。她试图帮助我的丈夫时，被狗给扑倒了。” 接着，两位女士陷入了沉默，心里涌过一阵激烈的挣扎和思索。 "这只狗能借我用用吗？” “当然可以。排队吧！” Can I Borrow the Dog? A woman was leaving a convenience store with her morning coffee when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a short distance back, were about 200 women walking in a single file. The woman was so curious that she respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said，”I am so sorry for your loss，and I know now it is a bad time to disturb you，but I have never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is this?” “My husband's.” “What happened to him?” The woman replied, “My dog attacked and killed him.” She inquired further, “Well, who is in the second hearse?” The woman answered, “My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her.” A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women. “Can I borrow the dog?” “Sure, get in line!” |
