Little Johnny and his mother were on a train. Johnny leant over and started to whisper in his mother's ear. “Johnny, how many times have I told you,” said his mother, “it's rude to whisper. If you have something to say, say it out loud.” “OK,” said Johnny, “why does the lady over there look like an ugly, haggard old witch?”

小约翰尼和他的母亲在火车上。约翰尼斜靠过去，开始对着他母亲的耳朵说耳语。 “约翰尼，我告诉你多少次了，”他母亲说，“窃窃私语是粗鲁的行为。如果你有话要说，就大声说出来。” “好吧，”约翰尼说，“为什么那边那个女人看起来像一个丑陋的、憔悴的老巫婆？”
