Lesson89 A slip of the tongue
People will do anything to see a free show--even if it is a bad one.
When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company,
we all rushed to see it.
We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began.
Unfortunately,
the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen.
Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come.
The only funny things we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programme.
He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone.
As soon as he opened his mouth,
everyone burst out laughing.
We all know what the poor man should have said,
but what he actually said was: 'This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!’

练习感悟:周五 上午小宝没有去幼儿园,昨晚收到父亲寄来的新鲜的鸡,上午就炖了鸡汤,小宝喝了不少。中午吃了饭,小宝要去幼儿园,我就给她送去了,可以轻松半天,看看书,读英语,写写日志。买了芬腾的家居服,很暖和,两套花了四百多,我和他各一套,这样在家读英语看书就不冷了。好好利用好自己的时间吧。
