双语幽默：四减四等于几

　　One day, the teacher inquired of Peter:" How much is four minus four?" Peter was tongue-tied. The teacher got angry and said: "What a fool! You see, if I put four coins in your pocket, but there is a hole in your pocket and all of them leak out, now what is left in your pocket?" "The hole," replied Peter。

　　四减四等于几？

　　一天，老师问彼得：“4减4等于几？”彼得张口结舌答不上来。

　　老师生气地说：“真笨！你想，我要是往你口袋里放四个硬币，而你的口袋上有个窟窿，硬币全漏掉了，那么，你衣袋里还剩下什么？” 　　　“窟窿，”彼得答道。　　

Notes:

(1)tongue-tied:张口结舌

(2)leak out:泄漏　

　A small leak will sink a great ship.[谚]小洞沉大船;小患不治成大灾。
