Two bees ran into each other。One asked the other how things were going。“Really bad。”said the second bee,“the weather was really wet and damp and there weren't any flowers or pollen,so I Couldn't make any honey。”“No problem。”said the first bee,“Just fly down five blocks and turn left and keep going until you see all the cars。There's a Bar Mitzvah going on and there were all kinds of fresh flowers and fresh fruit。”
“Thanks for the tip”said the second bee and flew away。A few hours later the two bees ran into each other again and the first bee asked,“How'd it go?”“Fine。”said the second bee,“It was everything you said it would be。”
“Uh,what's that thing on your head?”asked the first bee。“That's my yarmulka。”said the second bee,“I didn't want them to think I was a wasp。”
两只小蜜蜂碰头了,一只蜜蜂问另一只蜜蜂近况如何。另一只回答:“太糟糕啦。天气又湿又热,没有花也没有花粉,我都不能酿蜜啊。”第一只说:“没问题。你就飞到五个街区之外的地方然后向左拐,再一直飞,直到你看到很多小汽车就到啦!那边在举行犹太男孩的受戒仪式,有很多的鲜花和新鲜的水果。”
第二只小蜜蜂说:“谢谢你告诉我啊!”然后就飞走了。几个小时之后,它俩又碰上了。第一只问第二只:“怎么样?”第二只回答说:“很好。跟你说的一模一样。”
