笑話原文】

Visiting a Chicken Farm

One day, a teacher took his pupils to a chicken farm to pay a visit.

When they came near the incubator, a chick just got out of its eggshell.

“It’s wonderful to see a little thing come out from the eggshell, isn’t it?” the teacher said.

“Yes, sir.”said one of the boys, “but it would be more wonderful if we know that how a chick gets into its eggshell beforehand.”
