A Small Boy and a Donkey

A small boy leading a donkey passed by an army camp. A couple of soldiers wanted to have some fun with him.

“What are you holding onto your brother so tight for， sonny？ ”asked one of them.

“So he won't join the army.” The youngster replied without blinking an eye.

[汉语翻译]

小男孩与驴子

一个小男孩牵着一头驴子穿过部队营房。

两名士兵想跟他开玩笑，对他说：“小孩儿，你把你哥哥牵得这么紧干什么？”

“这样，他就不会去参军了。”小家伙眼都不眨地回答。

[小幽默大智慧]

小男孩很聪明，反应灵敏，对士兵不敬的语言毫不示弱，当即还以颜色，让这两个士兵自讨没趣，也当了一回驴子。
