There was once a large, fat woman. She had1 a small, thin husband2. He worked in a big office and got3 his weekly4 pay5 every Friday evening. As soon as he got home on Fridays, he had to give his wife6 all his money, and his wife gave7 him back only enough to buy his lunch in the office every day.
One day the small man came8 home very happily9. He hurried into the living10 room. His wife was listening to the radio and eating apples there.
"You'll never guess what happened to me today, dear," he said11. He waited for a few seconds and then said again, "I won12 ten thousand dollars buying the lottery13 tickets!"
"That's wonderful!" shouted his wife. Happily. But then she thought14 for a few seconds and said angrily, "But wait a minute! How could15 you have enough money to buy the tickets?"
Buy tickets 买彩票
一个高大又肥胖的女人,有一个瘦瘦小小的丈夫。他在一家大公司的上班,每个周五的晚上发工资。他一回到家,就把所有钱交给他妻子,他的妻子只给他每天在公司吃午饭的钱。
一天,这个男人很开心回家了。他匆匆忙忙地走进起居室。他的妻子正在吃着苹果听着收音机。
“你绝对猜不到我今天发生了什么事,亲爱的,”他说。停顿了几秒钟,然后又说,“我买彩票赢了一万美元!“
“那太好了!“他的妻子高兴地说。不过她想了几秒钟后,生气地说,“等一下!你怎么有钱买这张彩票呢?“
