英语笑话:The Problem of Two Flounders 两个比目鱼问题

6

Simon was an inveterate(根深的) fisherman, well known for exaggerating the size of the one that got away. But there came a day when he actually caught two enormous flounders(挣扎,比目鱼) . He immediately invited a few friends over to dine, then tried to figure out how best to serve the fish. If I use both, he told his wife, it will seem ostentatious(招摇的) .Why not serve a piece of each? she suggested.No, if I cut them up, nobody will believe I caught two giant flounders. Simon racked his brain. Then he had an idea.The guests were seated at the table when their host strode in with a platter(大盘子) , holding the biggest flounder they'd ever seen. Suddenly Simon stumbled and fell. Everyone cried out in dismay as the fish crashed to the floor, but Simon quickly brushed himself off.Dear, he called out to his wife, bring in the other flounder!
