"Why do you laugh?" asked the candidate.

"Because,"replied the man, "the baby belongs to an orphanage."

"But the nurse," said the candidate,"the nurse will - surely relate the touching incident wherever she goes, and perhaps write to her former master."

"The nurse," said the man who had laughed,"is an illiterate mute."

    一个候选人在选区拉票的时候碰到一个推着婴儿车的护士,于是他弯下身,在小孩粘湿的口上亲了一口.抬头的时候,看到一个男人在大笑.

    "你为什么笑呢?" 候选人问.

    "因为,"男人回答,"这个婴儿是孤儿院的."

    "可是那个护士,"候选人说,"护士会 - 一定会把这感人的故事到处传扬,或许还会写信给她从前的东家也不一定."

    "那个护士,"那个大笑的男人说,"是个不识字的哑巴."
