1 聖誕禮物/The Christmas gift
One night before Christmas a woman had a lovely dream about a beautiful necklace.
When she woke up, she told her husband, "I just dreamt that you gave me a pearl necklace for Christmas. What do you think it could mean?"
"You'll find out on Christmas Day." he said with a knowing smile.
On Christmas Day, the man gave his delighted wife a beautifully wrapped package.
Excitedly, she opened it, only to find a book entitled "The Meaning of Dreams".

聖誕節那天，男人給了他欣喜的妻子一個包裝漂亮的包裹。
她興奮地打開，發現隻是一本書名為《夢的解析》的書。

The child answered, "I also do not know who is my father, that's why they are fighting."

I wanted to make my mark as the new food-service officer at a recruit training center. The menu was loaded with red meat, so I devised a new one to reduce cholesterol. I substituted chicken for beef, and awaited comments from the suggestion box.
The first one summed up the recruits' feelings. It read simply, ″Let the chicken live.″
我在新兵訓練中心當上後勤服務長官時,想留下一些功績。因為菜單上都是紅肉，所以我設計了一個新的菜單，用雞肉來代替牛肉，以減少膽固醇。我等待著來自意見箱的評價。

祝大家聖誕快樂!
