The Hare and the Tortoise
Aesop
One day the Hare laughed at the short feet and slow speed of the Tortoise. The Tortoise replied:
"You may be as fast as the wind, but I will beat you in a race!"
The Hare thought this idea was impossible and he agreed to the proposal. It was agreed that the Fox should choose the course and decide the end.
The day for the race came, and the Tortoise and Hare started together.
The Tortoise never stopped for a moment, walking slowly but steadily, right to the end of the course. The Hare ran fast and stopped to lie down for a rest. But he fell fast asleep. Eventually, he woke up and ran as fast as he could. But when he reached the end, he saw the Tortoise there already, sleeping comfortably after her effort.
A funny story
A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to thaw out during one particularly icy cold winter. They both had jobs, and had difficulty coordinating their travel schedules. It was decided the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day. Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his laptop and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address and sent the e-mail without noticing his error.
In the mean time:
In Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who had been "called home to glory" following a heart attack (died and gone to report in heaven). The widow checked her e-mail, expecting messages from family and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted and fell to the floor. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My loving Wife
From: Your Departed Husband
Subject: I've arrived!
I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is hot down here.

شخصی به داروخانه مراجعه میکنه و به پزشک داروخانه میگه که سردرد شدیدی داره. پزشک از او میپرسه که چه مدت است که این سردرد را داره و او پاسخ میده که حدوداً دو سه ساعت است که سر درد داره و پزشک میگه این قرص ها رو امتحان کنه و هر روز هر چهار ساعت یکبار دوتا از آنها رو استفاده کنه. اون شخص تشکر میکنه و پزشک میگه خواهش میکنم. |
یه نکته خیلی مهم: در انگلیسی برای اینکه بگیم دارو خوردن فقط یک فعل داریم: take medicine, pill,…
|
شخصی به داروخانه مراجعه میکنه جهت پیچیدن نسخه. پزشک داروخانه میپرسه که آیا میخواد منتظر بمونه یا نه. و اون میپرسه چقدر طول خواهد کشید که داروهاش آماده بشه و پزشک میگه حدوداً بیست دقیقه. اون شخص میگه باشه من بر میگردم و پزشک میگه باشه. دوباره اون شخص میپرسه آیا الان باید بپردازه یا وقتی که بر میگرده بپردازه و پزشک میگه وقتی برای بردن داروها بر میگرده پرداخت کنه. |
C: could you fill this prescription, please? D: sure. Do you want to wait? C: how long will it take? D: it’ll be ready in about twenty minutes. C: all right. I’ll come back later. D: all right. It’ll be waiting. C: should I pay now or later? D: later will be fine. |
