Like a Straw1像个吸管

There were these two not so bright guys who had to get across the desert.Since they didn’t have enough money for a car， they decided to buy a camel2.

The camel dealer3 told them that the camel would get them across the desertif they made sure he was full of water before they left. They took the camel downto the water hole， but the camel would not drink. So finally the first guy says，“Ihave an idea. Why don’t I hold his head down in the water and you suck4 on hisbutt5？ That way the water will be drawn up into him like a straw.”The secondguy thought about this for a while and did what the first guy said.

After a while the first guy asks，“Well， is it working？”

The second guy said， “I think it is going to work， but you have to pick hishead up just a little because I’m just getting mud.”

有两个不太聪明的人要横穿沙漠。因为他们没有足够的钱买车，所以他们决定买一只骆驼。

骆驼商人告诉他们，如果他们在启程之前确保骆驼装满了水，骆驼会带他们穿过沙漠。他们把骆驼带到了水坑那儿，但是骆驼不想喝水。最后，第一个人说：“我有一个主意。为什么我不把它的头按在水里，然后你吸它的屁股呢？这样，水就会像吸管一样被吸进它的身体里。”第二个人想了一会儿，最后照第一个人说的做了。

过了一会儿，第一个人问：“哎，这方法有用吗？”

第二个人回答说：“我想这是可行的，但是你必须把它的头抬起来一点，因为我吸到泥巴了。”

一天，一只狮子醒来后心情不好，它把丛林中的其他动物都喊来。“我希望你们每个人都讲一个笑话。但我警告你们，如果你们中有任何一个人不笑，我会打那个讲笑话的人。让我想想，猴子，你第一个来。”

猴子吓得发抖，开始说：“街上有两个人……”它说完笑话后，所有人都大笑起来，但乌龟没笑。“乌龟没有笑！”狮子喊道，一下把猴子打飞了。

然后他说：“大象，你是下一个。”大象开始说：“一个醉汉走进酒吧……”当它说完时，除了乌龟，所有的动物都笑了，它仍然毫不动容。
