笑話原文】

A Big Sissy

One summer evening, during a violent thunderstorm, a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, “Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?”

The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. “I can’t dear, ” she said, “I have to sleep with Daddy.”

A long silence was broken at last by a scornful voice saying, “The big sissy. ”

中文譯文】

老膽小鬼

一個夏天的夜晚，雷電交加，一位母親正在給她的兒子蓋被子。她正要關(guān)燈，兒子用顫抖的聲音問：“媽媽，晚上你會和我一起睡嗎?”

媽媽笑了笑，給了兒子一個安慰的擁抱。“不行，親愛的，”她說，“我得和你爸爸一起睡。”

長長的沉默被小男孩兒充滿鄙視的一句話打破了：“真是個老膽小鬼。”
