【Kim’s Note】If you can tell jokes well, you will always be welcome at parties and everyone will be happy when you arrive! I personally can’t tell jokes well at all, but I will never quit trying! This is a simple joke that is very funny. Practice until you can say it perfectly and make someone laugh out loud. Remember I will be practicing with you!
A Clever dog
[1] A dog owner claimed that his pet, when given money, would go to the news stall『售报亭』 to buy a paper. His friend insisted on『坚持』 a demonstration『演示』 and handed the dog some money. The dog trotted off『小步跑开』, but an hour later he had still not returned with the paper.
[2] “How much did you give him?” asked the owner.
[3] “Five dollars.”
[4] “Well, that explains it. When you give him five dollars, he goes to a movie.”

聪 明 狗
[1] 一只狗的主人声称如果给他的狗一些钱的话，它就会跑到售报亭去买一份报纸回来。他的朋友坚持要试验一下。于是就给了那只狗一些钱。狗叼着钱一溜烟儿地跑掉了。可是过了一个小时，狗还没有把报纸买回来。
[2]“你给了他多少钱？”狗的主人问。
[3]“五块。”
[4]“这就有问题了。你给它五块钱，它就去看电影了。”主人解释道。
