Two Russian hunters meet. "I shot a gigantic¹ bear yesterday," says Ivan. "Look at the hide!"

"How do you find such huge bears?" Sergei asks.

"Easy," says Ivan. "You stand in front of a cave and whistle. When the bear comes out, you shoot."

Weeks later the two meet again. Sergei is covered in bandages. "Didn't you follow my advice?" Ivan asks.

"Sure I did. I stood, in front of a cave and whistled, " Sergei replies.

"And what came out?"

"To me, "says Sergei, "it looked like the Trans-Siberian Express."

两个俄国猎人相遇。“我昨天打了一只巨熊，”伊凡说，“看看这兽皮！”

“你是如何发现这么大的熊的？”谢尔盖问道。

“很简单，”伊凡说，“你站在一个洞前并吹哨子。熊出来时你就开枪。”

几周后，两人见面了。谢尔盖浑身缠满了绷带。“难道你没有听我的建议？”伊凡问。

“我当然是按你的建议做的。我站在一个洞前并吹哨子，”谢尔盖回答说。

“出来了什么？”

“向着我来的，”谢尔盖说，“像是穿越西伯利亚的快车。”
