  • The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper "Hello"The boss asked,"Is your daddy home"

    "Yes," whispered the small voice.

    "May I talk with him" the man asked.

    To the surprise of the boss,the small voice whispered,"No." Wanting to talk with an adult,the boss asked,"Is your mommy there""Yes," came the answer.

    "May I talk with her"

    Again the small voice whispered,"No."

    Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left home alone,the boss decided1 he would just leave a message with the person who should be there watching over the child."Is there any one there besides you" the boss asked the child.

    "Yes," whispered the child,"A policeman."

    Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home,the boss asked,"May I speak with the policeman""No,he's busy," whispered the child.

    "Busy doing what" asked the boss.

    "Talking to daddy and mommy and the fireman," came the whispered answer.

    Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone,the boss asked,"What is that noise""A helicopter," answered the whispering voice.

    "What is going on there" asked the boss,now alarmed.

    In an impressed whispering voice the child answered,"The search team just landed the helicopter."Alarmed,concerned and more than just a little frustrated2 the boss asked,"Why are they there"Still whispering,the young voice replied along with a muffled4 giggle5: "They're looking for me."一个大公司的老板要找他的一个雇员来解决公司一台主电脑的紧急故障,就打电话到那个雇员的家里,接电话的是一个小男孩的耳语声:"哈罗。"老板问:"你爸爸在家吗?"

    小男孩的耳语声:"在家。"

    老板想警察会在他的雇员家做什么呢?他问:"我能跟警察说话吗?"小男孩小声说:"不能,他正忙着呢。"

    "忙着干什么?"

    "正在跟我爸爸、妈妈和消防队员说话。"

    老板听到电话听筒中传来类似直升飞机的噪音,更加担心了。他问:"那是什么声音?"那耳语声回答:"一架直升机。"

    老板更紧张了:"那里发生了什么事?"

    小男孩用一种很严肃的耳语声说:"搜索队正从直升机上下来。"老板非常惊恐、担忧、焦虑:"他们为什么在那里?"

    小男孩用耳语声夹杂捂住的格格笑声说:"他们正在找我。"dial v. 拨( 电话号码) greet v. 问候,致敬 whisper n. 低语,私下说fireman n. 消防队员 frustrate3 v. 挫败,使无效 giggle n. 咯咯笑
