A woman was busy making an Irish stew¹（炖肉） when her husband came in from work, and offered to help her, "You can't help much," said the woman, "but you might get me a  turnip²." "What size?" asked the man. "Oh, about the size of your head," said the woman, irritably³（暴躁地）.  The man was away for some time, and then he came back carrying a turnip. His wife received him with a broad grin. "What are you laughing at?" he asked. "Why," said the wife, "Jack⁴ Smith called to tell me that he'd  seen you in the field at the back trying your hat on a lot of turnip."
