The Indian Who Could Foretell the WeatherTwo men were travelling in a very wild and lonely part of America． For days they had not even seen a house， only a few huts made of wood， or tents made of skins． Then one day they met an old Indian who earned his living by trapping animals for their fur． They found that he knew their language and they had a little conversation with him． One of them asked him if he could tell them what the weather would be like within the next few days．“Oh yes，”he said．“Rain is coming， and wind．Then there will be snow for two days， but after that there will be bright sunshine．”“Isn't that wonderful？” said one man to his friend．“These old Indians know more of the secrets of nature than we do with all our science． They have not been spoiled by civilization．” Then he turned to the old Indian．“Tell me，”he said，“how you knew all that？”The Indian replied，“I heard it on the radio．”
预报天气的印第安人有两个人在美洲一个非常荒凉偏僻的地区旅行。好多天来，他们连所房子也没看到，只看见几个木棚子和皮帐篷。一天，他们遇到一个靠猎取兽皮谋生的印第安老人。他们发现他懂得他们的语言，就和他聊了一会儿。其中一个人问他，能否告知近几天的天气如何。“哦，行啊”，他说。“就要下雨了，还要刮风。接着还得下两天雪。这以后就是大晴天了。”“这不是太神奇了吗？”一个旅行者对他的朋友说。“这些印第安老人深知大自然的秘密，比我们有科学知识的人知道的还多。他们并没有被现代文明所迷惑。”接着他转向印第安老人：“请问，”他说，“你是怎么知道这一切的呢？”印第安老人答道：“我是从无线电里听来的。”

Blind DateAfter being with her all evening， the man couldn't take another minute with his blind date. Earlier， he had secretly arranged to have a friend call him to the phone so he would have an excuse to leave.When he returned to the table， he lowered his eyes， put on a grim expression and said， “I have some bad news. My grandfather just died.”“Thank heavens，” his date replied. “If yours hadn't， mine would have had to！”
相亲和盲约对象呆了一晚上后，男人再也受不了了。他事先安排了个朋友给他打电话，这样他就能借故先离开了。当他回到桌边，他垂下眼睛，装出一副阴沉的表情，说：“有个不幸的消息，我的祖父刚刚去世了。”“谢天谢地！”他的约会对象说，“如果你的祖父不死，我的祖父就得死了！”
