英語笑話:勒索聖誕樹 An Axe to Grind大綱

A boy begs his father to get him a Christmas tree this year.

一個孩子求他爸爸，說能不能今年爲家裏準備一棵聖誕樹

Each year, the boy asks and the father tells him, "I don't want to pay for it."

小男孩每年求他爸爸得到的都是同樣的回答“我可不想爲一棵樹付錢。”

But the son kept begging. Unable to bear his son's whining, he picks up his axe one day and heads out of the house.

但是小男孩不放棄的一直祈求，終於有一天，他爸被他的哀求折磨得受不了，他拿起一把斧子，直接衝出了門。

Thirty minutes later he returns with a great big Christmas tree. "How did you cut it down so fast?" his son asks.

30分鐘後，他爸爸帶着一棵超大的聖誕樹回到了加。他兒子問：“你怎麼會砍得那麼快？”

"I didn't cut it down," the father replies.

他爸爸回答到：“我不是砍的”

"I got it at a tree lot."

“我是從一個聖誕樹銷售中心拿的”

"Then why did you bring an axe?"

“那你爲什麼還要帶把斧子去呢？”

"Because I didn't want to pay."

“因爲我不想付錢”
