Time passed and the actor kept taunting the lion。 The crowds grew larger； and his salary kept increasing。
However； one day the actor slipped and fell right into the lion’s cage。 He was terrified。 The lion gathered itself and prepared to pounce。 The actor began to scream and yell。 “Help me！ Help me！” he cried。
The lion pounced on him and knocked him to the ground。 The actor looked up at the angry lion and the lion said “Shut up； you idiot！ Do you want to get us both fired？”

真正的勇气
在一艘船的甲板上，有一位美国将军、一位俄罗斯将军和一位英国将军，正在一起观看军事演习。他们的话题转移到人的勇气上， 这时俄罗斯将军炫耀道：“俄罗斯的士兵是世界上最勇敢的！”
对此，美国将军反问道：“哦？真的吗？”
俄罗斯将军说：“当然，看着。尤芮，从甲板上跳下去绕着船游一圈。”（下面就是冰冷的大西洋）尤芮二话没说就执行了命令。俄罗斯将军转过头说：“看见了吗？这就是勇气的典范。”美国将军不服输，便叫来他的一个部下，命令道：“杰克，从桅杆上跳下去，然后绕着船游七圈。”可怜的杰克一声没吭地服从了命令。然后，美国将军说：“这才叫勇气。”
接着他们的目光都转向了一直站在旁边沉默不语的英国将军，然后他们问他：“你们的人如何？”
英国将军叫来了一个人说：“特雷弗，从桅杆上跳下去，然后从船底下游过去，听见了吗，老家伙？”
特雷弗双眼瞪着他的将军。
“你的意思是说让我从桅杆上跳下去。”
“是的。”
“然后从船底下游过去。”
“是的。”
“你一定是发疯了！”
说着，特雷弗转过身，悠闲地离开了。于是，英国将军转过来对那两个人说：“瞧，这才叫真正的勇气呢！”
True Courage
An American General； a Russian General and a British General are standing on the deck of a ship watching war exercises。 The topic of discussion turns to human courage； and the Russian General boasts；“Russians are the most courageous people on Earth！”
Upon which the American challenges him：“Oh YEAH？”
The Russian says；“Sure！ Here； Yuri！ Jump off the deck （into the freezing Atlantic） and swim around the ship！”
Yuri marches off without a word； and does as he is told。 The Russian turns around and says：“See； there’s an example of courage！”
The American has to top this； so he calls up one of his underlings and gives him the order：“Jack； Jump off the main mast into the ocean；and swim around the ship seven times！”
Poor Jack goes off without a murmur； and he too does as he is told。 The American General says：“Now top that for courage！”
So they both turn around to the British General who has been standing around watching these antics silently。 They ask him：“What about your people？”
So the British guy calls up one of his people and says：“Trevor； jump off the mast and swim under the keel of the ship； will you； old chap？”
Trevor stares at his general。
“Let me get this right。 You want me to jump off the mast。”
“Yes。”
“And swim under the keel。”
“Yes。”
“You must be daft！”
And so saying； Trevor turns around and saunters off。 Whereupon the British General turns to the other two and says； “Now there’s an example of TRUE courage！”

“珍妮，你和那些女孩有什么共同之处呢？”父亲问道。“我有一个男朋友。”珍妮说，她的父亲非常感兴趣，“珍妮，你知不知道什么是男朋友呀？”她的母亲问道。
“我听其他女孩说，她们盼望能长大一点，那样的话，她们就可以交男朋友了。因此我就去问老师史密斯太太，什么是男朋友。她告诉我男朋友就是吻你的男生。所以在回家的路上，我告诉那些校车上的女孩，我已经有男朋友了。现在，他们都很羡慕我，并且想要和我做朋友。”现在，珍妮的父母有些担心了。“是哪个男生吻你了？你的男朋友是谁呀？”珍妮的母亲问道。“有什么问题吗？就是爸爸呀。”珍妮说，“他每晚都会吻我，跟我说晚安，因此他就是我的男朋友。仔细想想，妈妈每晚也会吻我，跟我说晚安，因此我认为你是我的女朋友。我要和校车上的女孩说，我也有一个男朋友和一个女朋友啦！”
