After a week's absence, a mountain man staggered1 home, clothes torn, shoes worn thin. He was exhausted2.

"Where have you been?" asked his wife.

"I went out in the woods to check the still." Replied the mountain man, "and a giant bear stepped out in front of me. I took off running ahead of him and finally lost him. I never ran so fast in my life."

"But that was a week ago." Said the wife. "Where have you been since?"

The mountain man collapsed3 in a chair. "Walking back."

We had just moved into a new school district, when brother was invited to a surprise birthday party. He didn't want to go, however, because he couldn't recall ever meeting the birthday boy.

"Ridiculous!" said my mother. "If he didn't know you, his mother wouldn't have invited you." And with that she packed him off to have a good time.

When Dave came home, Mom wanted to know how it had gone.

"Well," he said glumly1, "We got there and everyone hid behind a couch. Then, when the boy came in, we all jumped up and yelled, 'SURPISE'. And he pointed2 straight at me and shouted, 'Who is he?'"

大卫回到家后，妈妈很想知道聚会开得怎样。

“怎么说呢？”他无精打采地说：“我们到会后，大家都藏在一个沙发的后边，等到过生日的男孩一进屋，我们就跳起来喊：“给你一个惊喜哟！”这时，他朝直地指着我问：“他是谁？”
