Eat the watermelons

A farmer in the country has a watermelon patch and upon inspection he discovers that some of the local kids have been helping themselves to a feast.

The farmer thinks of ways to discourage this situation. So he puts up a sign that reads:

"WARNING! ONE OF THESE WATERMELONS CONTAINS CYANIDE!"

He smiled smugly as he watched the kids run off the next night without eating any of his melons.

The farmer returns to the watermelon patch a week later to discover that none of the watermelons have been eaten, but finds another sign that reads:

"NOW THERE ARE TWO!"


Grammar notes:

- help yourself: tự phục vụ, tự làm lấy, (hoặc dùng mời ai đó ăn, uống)
...some of the local kids have been helping themselves to a feast.

- put a sign: đặt biển báo
So he puts up a sign that reads:...

- any of... một trong số ...
He smiled smugly as he watched the kids run off the next night without eating any of his melons.

- none of: không cái nào trong số...
...none of the watermelons have been eaten,



Mad cow disease

Two cows were chatting as they chewed the cud.
"Ere, have you heard about this mad-cow disease?"
"Yes, sounds nasty."
"I'm glad I'm a chicken."



Grammar notes:

- to chew the cud: nhai lại; (nghĩa bóng) nghiền ngẫm, ngẫm nghĩ
Two cows were chatting as they chewed the cud.

- sound + tính từ: nghe có vẻ như...
Yes, sounds nasty.
