內容: | A boy learning English likes to use adjectives in the superlative degree; -largest, biggest, greatest, finest, longest, prettiest, and so on.
Once he told some foreign guests, “In China everything is the greatest. When we give a banquet, a hundred guests sit around the biggest table; food is served in the largest dishes and the chopsticks are three feet long, the longest chopsticks in the world.”
One of the guests asked, “When you use such long chopsticks, how can you put the food into your mouth?” The clever boy answered, “When we use such long chopsticks, we never put food into our own mouths, but put it into the mouth of the guest across the table.” |
