8、Bet

“I want you to help me stop my son gambling.”an anxious6 father said to his boy's principal. “I don't know where he gets it from, but it's bet, bet, bet.”
“Leave it to me,” said the principal.
A week later he phoned the boy's father. " I think I've cured him," he said.
“How?”
“Well, I saw him looking at my beard and he said,” I bet that's a false beard, “How much? I said, and he said $5”
“What happened ?”asked the father.
“Well he tugged my beard which is quite natural and I made him give me $5. I'm sure that'll teach him a lesson!”
“No, it won't," said the father. "He bet me $10 on Monday that he'd pull your beard with your permission by the end of the week! "

赌

"我想你帮我制止我儿子赌博。"一位焦急的父亲对儿子的校长说。"我不知道他从哪儿学来的，总是赌,赌,赌。""交给我吧！"校长说。
一周后，他打电话给男孩的父亲。 "我想我已使他改邪归正。"他说。
"怎么办到的？"
"噢，他看着我的胡子，然后说：'我打赌那是假胡子。' '赌多少钱？'我问，他说5美元。"
"后来怎样？"父亲问道。
"于是他拉扯了我的胡子后，知道那是货真价实的，我就要他给我5美元。我敢肯定我给了他一个教训。"
"不行，那没用。"父亲说。 "星期一他和我赌了10美元，说周末他可以让你允许他拔你的胡子！"
