3.Two Attorneys

Two attorneys went into a restaurant and ordered two drinks. Then they brought out sandwiches from their briefcases and started to eat. The owner marched over and told them, “You can‘t eat your own sandwiches here!”

The attorneys looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and then exchanged sandwiches.

4.I want a nightmare

Before the final examination, Tom told his mother, “Mom, I had a dream last night that I‘d passed today‘s exam.”
“Don‘t trust dreams, dear. It is said what you experience in dreams usually turns out to be the opposite.” Mother replied.
“Then I do hope I‘ll fail the other subjects in my dream tonight,” Tom said.

想做坏梦

在期末考试之前,汤姆告诉他的母亲:“妈妈,我昨天晚上做了一个梦,梦见我通过了今天的考试。”
“不要相信梦,亲爱的。据说梦中的经历通常与现实相反。”妈妈答道。
“那么,我真希望在今晚的梦中,我的其他功课都不及格。”汤姆说。
