Turtle Gets the Last Laugh
(Originally in English)
Once upon a time in the forest, there was a very bad drought. And all the animals were dying because of a big famine. So the lion king gathered all the animals together to find a solution, to save the lives of his subjects. And then some animals suggested that since the time was very bad and the situation was so grave, they would have to eat each other to survive. But they also didn't want to eat each other so much, so they made a competition. Every one of them had to tell a joke.
The joke had to be very funny, and everyone had to laugh.
If it happened to be not funny enough so that even one of the animals in the assembly didn't laugh, then that animal had to be eaten. They had to eat each other to survive, because there was no food.So the elephant came out and told a joke. And it was very funny! Everyone was rolling on the floor, laughing until they had stomach pains.
But just one animal didn't laugh: the turtle. Ah! So everyone felt sorry, because the joke was really funny. But rules are rules. The turtle didn't laugh, so they went ahead and ate the elephant. And then they continued with another animal, the giraffe. He also told a very funny joke. Everyone laughed except the turtle; the turtle didn't laugh. Okay,rules are rules. So they ate the giraffe. And so on, and so on. After a while, almost all the animals had been eaten.
Only a few were left when it came to the turn of the monkey to tell a joke, and he was very scared. He was nervous; he was trembling. He looked at the turtle and dared not open his mouth. But suddenly the turtle started laughing. "Ha ha ha ha! Ah ha ha ha! Ah ha ha! That was funny! The joke the elephant told was so funny!"
烏龜終于笑了
有一次森林里發(fā)生很嚴重的干旱，所有動物都因為大饑荒而瀕臨死亡，獅子王為了拯救它子民的生命，就集合所有動物一起商量對策。有些動物建議，因為事態(tài)嚴重，唯有互相吃才能存活，但大家又不想有太多動物犧牲，所以就辦了一場比賽，每個動物都要講一個笑話，這個笑話必須很有趣，讓每個動物都笑，而如果有笑話不有趣，即使只有一個動物不笑，那個講笑話的動物就要被吃掉。因為沒有食物，它們必須互相吃才能存活。
大象就上來講了一個笑話，非常有趣，大家都笑到肚子痛而在地上打滾，但只有一個動物不笑，那就是烏龜。??！大家都很難過，因為那個笑話真的很有趣，但因為烏龜沒笑，所以必須遵守規(guī)定，結(jié)果大家就吃了大象。接著是長頸鹿，它也講了個很有趣的笑話，大家都開懷大笑，但就只有烏龜還是不笑，但必須遵守規(guī)定，所以大家又吃了長頸鹿。然后比賽就這樣繼續(xù)下去，過了一會兒，幾乎所有動物都被吃掉了，只有少數(shù)還活著，這時輪到猴子講笑話，它害怕緊張的發(fā)抖，猴子看著烏龜，而不敢開口，突然間烏龜笑了：「哈！哈！哈！啊！哈！哈！太好笑了！大象講的笑話太好笑了！」
