英语笑话：An Intelligent Dog 聪明的狗

An Intelligent Dog

A large dog walks into a butcher’s shop with a purse in its mouth. He puts the purse down and sits in front of the meat case.“What is it，boy？”the butcher asks，joking around with his customers.“Want to buy some meat？”

“Woof！”barks the dog.

“Hmm，”says the butcher.“What kind？Liver，bacon，steak—”

“Woof！”interrupts the dog.“And how much steak？Half a kilo，one kilo—”

“Woof！”says the dog.

The amazed butcher wraps up the meat and finds the money in the dog’s purse. As the dog leaves，the butcher decides to follow. The dog enters an apartment house，climbs to the third floor，and begins to scratch on the door.

With that，the door swings open and an angry man starts shouting at the dog.

“Stop！”yells the butcher.“What are you doing？That’s the most clever animal I’ve ever seen！”“Clever？”counters the man.“This is the third time this week he’s forgotten his keys！”

聪明的狗

一条嘴巴里衔着钱包的大狗走进一家肉店。然后它放下钱包立坐在肉案前。

“那是什么，伙计？”屠夫笑着问他的这位顾客，“想买点肉？”

“汪！”狗叫道。“嗯，”屠夫说道，“要哪种？肝脏，咸肉，肉排……”

“汪！”狗再次叫道。“那你要多少肉排？半公斤，还是一公斤……”

“汪！”狗又叫了起来。

这个惊奇的屠夫包好肉，拿了狗的钱包里的钱。当狗离开后，屠夫决定跟踪去看个究竟。狗走进一栋公寓楼，爬到三层后，开始抓门。

这时门打开了，一个愤怒的男人冲着狗大叫起来。

屠夫忍不住说道：“你干吗呀？这可是我迄今为止见过的最聪明的动物了！”

“聪明？”那个男人反驳道，“这个星期它已经第三次忘记带钥匙了！”
