15. To Bury the Goldfish
Little Cathy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the fence. Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was doing, he politely asked, "What are you up to there, Cathy?"
"My goldfish died," replied Cathy tearfully, without looking up, "and I've just buried him."
The neighbor was concerned, "That's an big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?"
Cathy patted down the last heap of earth and then replied. "That's because he's inside your cat."
埋金鱼
小凯西在花园里铲土填坑，邻居在篱笆外看到了。邻居不知道这个神情沮丧的小女孩在做什么，就关切地问：“凯西，你在那儿做什么呀？”
“我的小金鱼死了，”凯西低头哭着回答，“我刚刚把金鱼给埋了。”
邻居关心地问：“就埋一条小金鱼挖那么大的坑？”
凯西拍了拍最后一撮土回答说：“那是因为小金鱼在你们家那只猫的肚子里。”
