He Wanted Two Balloons.

　　The boy's clothing shop was giving away balloons to customers' children. One little fellow asked if he might have two.
　　"Sorry," the clerk said,"but we give only one balloon to each child.
　　Do you have a brother at home?"
　　The youngster was always truthful , but he wanted another balloon badly. "No." he replied regretfully,"but my sister does, and I'd like one for him." 　

他想要两只气球。

儿童服装店正在向顾客的孩子们赠送气球。其中一个小男孩问是否能够得到两只气球。
“对不起，”售货员说，“我们只赠给每个孩子一只气球，你家里有弟弟吗？”
小家伙一贯很诚实，可他特别想再要一只气球。“没有”，他遗憾地说，“可我姐姐有个弟弟，我想给他要一只。”
