The Talking Tortoise
A lonely man goes to the pet shop to buy an animal for some company.
“I have the perfect pet for you,” sys the owner.” It’s an amazing tortoise; if will do almost everything- and it even falks.”
“I’lltake it, says the man.”
Loter on that evening, the man decides to put his pet’s skills to the test.
“ Tortoise, go down to the shop and buy me a paper!” he cries, placing the tortoise on the floor outside the living room.
A year later, the man is still wctching TV when he remembers the tortoise.
“Bloodly hell! That tortoise is so slow I’d best go and look for him. “ he steps put of his front door and to his surprise, nearly steps on his missing pet.
“You’re so bloody slow, you’re been gone for nearly a year. What’s my paper.”
To which the disgruntled tortoise replies, “ Well, if you’re going to be like that, I won’t go!”
会说话的乌龟
有个人感到孤独，就去了他家英语培训机构旁边的宠物店买了一只动物解闷儿。宠物店的老板介绍说：“我这里有一只乌龟，不但什么事都会做，还会说话。”那人一听就买下了这只乌龟。当天晚上，那人决定试验一下究竟有什么特长。
“嘿，接着。”说着那人甩给乌龟一些钱，叫它去买张报纸，并把乌龟放到了起居室外。
一年以后，那人还是在同一地点看电视，突然想起了叫乌龟买报纸的事。他打开门出去看了看，不料差点儿一脚踩到门口趴着的一只的身上。他责怪道路：“你这个家伙也太慢了，叫你去买报纸你却一年未归。我的报纸呢？”
乌龟听了很不高兴。说：“你要总是这种态度，我干脆就不去了！”
