No Elephants
Jill Jones got a new job in a different part of the city . She had to go to work every day by train .
There was only one other person in the train with her . This was a well - dressed man reading a newspaper .
Suddenly , about halfway through the journey , the man began tearing his newspaper into hundreds of small pieces . Then he picked them up , opened the window and threw them all out .
This done , he sat down , closed his eyes , and slept for the rest of the journey .
The next day , Jill Jones got into the same train . The same welldressed man was there , reading a newspaper .
As before , about halfway through the journey , the man began tearing his newspaper into hundreds of small pieces . Then he picked the pieces up , opened the window and threw them all out .
This done , he sat down , closed his eyes , and slept for the rest of the journey .
This happened every day for a week .
At last , on Friday , Jill Jones spoke to the man .
" Excuse me , sir , " she said , " I don't want to be rude , but I must ask you a question . When we are halfway through our journey , you tear your newspaper into hundreds of pieces and then throw them all out of the window . Please tell me , sir . Why do you do this ?"
The well - dressed man smiled . " There's a simple reason , " he said . " I like to sleep for part of the journey , but I cannot sleep if the t rain is full of elephants . So I throw the pieces of paper out to the elephants . It stops them from coming into the train . "
" But there aren't any elephants in the train , " Jill Jones said .
" I know , " the man said . " It works well , doesn't It ?"

在火车中只有两个人,她及一个穿着很好的男人看一份报纸。
经过旅程的一半,突然男人开始将他的报纸撕得粉碎。

经过旅程的一半,男人开始将他的报纸撕碎。然后他拾起碎片, 打开了窗户而且把碎片全部扔出去。
做完之后,他坐了下来,关闭了他的眼睛,剩下的旅程他一直在睡觉。
每天就这样,持续发生了一个星期。
最后,在星期五,吉儿琼斯跟男人说话。
"对不起 , 先生 , " 她说 , "我不想你粗鲁无礼,我要问你一个问题。当我们经过我们的旅程一半的时候,你将你的报纸撕碎然后打开窗户把碎片扔出去。请告诉我, 先生,你为什么这样做 ?”
穿着良好的男人微笑。 "我有一个非常简单的理由 , " ,他说。 "我喜欢睡觉来打发旅程的后一半,但是如果火车充满大象,我不能够睡觉。因此我对大象丢出去报纸。它阻止他们进入火车。”
”但是这里没有大象啊”!”她说!
”我知道”,他说,”可见我扔报纸很管用啊!”
总之,这个人是个神经病,这段话,就是个小笑话!
