It’s Raining Ahead Too

前面也有雨

A man walked slowly when it was raining hard. Someone thought it was strange and asked the man why he didn’t walk faster.

“What’s the use of walking faster? It’s raining ahead， too，” answered the man quietly.

Do you go without an umbrella slower or faster when it is raining?

Tom and Dentist

湯姆和牙醫(yī)

Tom: Mum， I

have got a toothache.

Mum: Let’s go to see the dentist at once.

Tom and his mother get to the dentist’s. Tom begins to howl(嚎叫) when the dentist examines him.

Dentist:Please stop howling. I haven’t

even touched your tooth yet.

Tom:I know， but you are standing on my foot!
