3. A 100-word essay

一篇100 字的作文

The English teacher asked her students to write a 100-word essay after school. Jim is not good at writing essays， but this time he said loudly， “So easy！”

When Jim got home， he took out his exercise book and wrote， “One day， I went out to call my cat in for the night， so I called‘kitty， kitty， kitty， kitty， kitty.” Then he stopped to count the words he wrote. “Oh， Ive written 21 words. Now I can go on to write the 79 times of ‘kitty. When I finish writing 79 times of ‘kitty， my essay will be OK.”

The next day， Jim came back to school. The English teacher looked at Jims essay and said angrily to Jim， “Jim， is it your essay？ How many words are there in it？”

“Yes， this is my essay. There are 100 words in it exactly！ You can count them！”

英語老師要求學(xué)生放學(xué)后寫一篇100 字的短文。吉姆不擅長寫作文，但這次他大聲地說：“太容易了！”

吉姆回到家后，拿出練習(xí)本，寫道：“有一天，我出去叫我的貓回家過夜，所以我就叫‘小貓，小貓，小貓，小貓，小貓?！比缓?，他停下來，數(shù)了數(shù)他寫的單詞?！芭?，我已經(jīng)寫了21 個單詞?，F(xiàn)在我可以繼續(xù)寫79 遍‘小貓。當(dāng)我寫完這79 遍‘小貓時，我的作文就寫完了。”

第二天，吉姆回到學(xué)校。英語老師看著吉姆的作文，生氣地對吉姆說 ：“吉姆，這是你的作文嗎？里面有多少個單詞？”

“是的，這是我的作文。里面正好有100 個單詞！你可以數(shù)一數(shù)！”
