这里的草更长

An old woman opens her windows and looks out.What a sunny day!But she is surprised to see a man in the front of her garden.The old woman looks at him and says to herself,“He is eating grass.Why?”

She goes out into her garden and says to him,“Are you very hungry?Why don’t you go to work and get some food?”The man looks at her and says, “I don’t like working.I just like eating.Now I’m hungry,but I have nothing for my breakfast.You see,I’m eating grass.Can you give me some food?”

The old woman says,“Come to the back door of my house.”The man is very glad.He thinks he can get food from the old woman.So he goes with her.

The old woman opens the back door and says to the man.“Look,the grass here is longer than that in the garden.Just enjoy it here!”

一个老妇人开窗往外看，天气真好！但是她很惊讶地看到有个男人在她的花园前面。老女人看着他自言自语道：“他在吃草。为什么呢？”

老妇人走出花园对他说：“你饿了吗？你为何不去工作好买一些食物？”男人看着老妇人说：“我不喜欢工作，我只喜欢吃。现在我饿了，但是我早饭没吃东西。你瞧，我正在吃草。你能给我一些食物吗？”

老妇人说：“到我房子后门口来。”男人很高兴。他认为自己能从老妇人那里得到一些食物了。所以他跟她走去。

老妇人打开后门，对男人说：“看，这里的草比花园里的更长。好好在这里享受吧！”
