What the Baby Wants
　　
　　I was travelling in a bus yesterday. Sitting opposite me(在我对面)was a lady with a small child, and the little boy was crying bitterly.
　　In vain(无效)the mother tried to calm(使平静)the boy, and at last the gentleman sitting next to her said angrily,“Oh, how that child cries!Why don’t you let it have what it wants?”
　　“I would if I could,” replied the mother quietly,“but he wants your funny hat.”
　　
　　Leading Questions
　　
　　Teacher:Billie, what does C-A-T spell?
　　Billy:I don’t know, Sir.
　　Teacher:What does your mother keep to catch mice?

　　A Good Idea
　　
　　The boss arrived at his office with a terrible headache.“That’s funny, boss,”commented an employee(雇员).“A few days ago I had a terrible headache too, but it didn’t last long. My wife pulled me over the sofa, gave me a big hug and a kiss. My headache went away.”
　　The boss put on his hat.“That must be a good idea. I’ve tried everything else.”he muttered(嘀咕).“Is your wife home now?”
