I so know nervous Jimmy but happy with answer understand look much |
Nine-year-old Jimmy was given a task in school to write a story on "My family's ancestors(祖先)". The purpose was for the kids to their family history.
In search of some for his task. Jimmy interviewed his grandmother who of course nothing about the reason why Jimmy asked such questions.
When she was asked, "Granny, where did I come from?" his grandma was quite. Why didn't he ask his parents? She had to be quite careful when talking a kid about such a subject. She wanted to buy some time, she replied," Well, sweetie , the stork(鹳鸟) brought you." She said no, hoping that the subject would be dropped until Jimmy's parents came back.
"So , where did Mom come from?"
"The stork brought her also."
"Well, then where did you come from?"
" The stork brought too, sweetie"
"All right, thanks, Granny"
grandmother did not think anything more about his questions. Three days later, when she was tidying up and at Jimmy's desk, she read the first sentence of his paper," For three generations(辈)there have been no natural births in our family".
