The Bait

Mr. Smith telephoned the doctor in the middle of the night.

"Come quickly， Doctor. You know that my wife sleeps with her mouth open. Well， a mouse has run inside her！"

"I will be with you in about ten minutes，" replied the doctor. "Until I arrive， try holding a piece of cheese in front of her mouth. This may bring the mouse out."

When the doctor arrived， Mr. Smith was not holding a piece of cheese. He was holding a fish in front of his wife's mouth.

"What are you doing"， asked the doctor. "A mouse doesn't like a fish."

"I know，" said Mr. Smith. "But we have to get a cat at first."

誘餌

史密斯先生在半夜給醫生打電話。

“醫生，快來啊！你知道，我妻子習慣張著嘴睡覺，結果一只老鼠鉆進去了。”

“我十分鐘后到，”醫生回答，“在我到達之前，試著在她嘴前拿一片干奶酪，也許會把老鼠引出來。”

當醫生到達時，史密斯先生不是拿一片干奶酪，而是拿著一條魚。

“你這是干什么？”醫生說道，“老鼠不喜歡吃魚。”

“我知道，”史密斯先生說，“可我得先把貓引出來。”

Three Haikus

By Veerangana，India

1

Night time

The hobbling onion vendor

Sells the moon

2

Melting sky

Trickling molasses

Sun on my window

3

A yearning for rain

The dried branches

Seize the clouds

俳句三首

作者：維倫加納（印度）

1

夜晚時分

洋蔥小販一瘸一拐地

出售著明月

2

天空融化了

糖漿涓涓流淌

太陽掛在我窗上

3

對雨的渴望

讓干枯的樹枝

將流云緊緊抓住

（文/王世躍 劉書恩）
