Goldfish

Little Amy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the fence. Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was doing, he politely asked, "What are you up to there, Amy?"

"My goldfish died," replied Amy tearfully, without lookingup, "and I've just buried him."

The neighbor was concerned, "That's an awfully¹ big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?"

Amy patted down the last heap of earth then replied, "That's because he's inside your cat."

金鱼

小艾米在她家的花园里往一个坑里填土，她的邻居从花园的篱笆外面看到了。对这个面色沮丧小女孩的行动感兴趣，他礼貌地问道：“艾米，你在这儿做什么？”

“我的金鱼死了，”艾米头也未抬，泪眼汪汪地说：“我刚把他埋葬了。”

他的邻居关心地问：“对金鱼来说，这个洞是不是太大了？”

艾米拍了拍最后一撮土，然后回答道：“因为金鱼在你的猫肚子里面。”
