Scott and his dad were on board a train. His dad asked him not to stretch his head out of the window, but he didn't listen. His dad suddenly took off his hat, hid behind him, and said, “See, your hat was blown away!”
Scott started crying and wanted his hat back. His dad said, “Don't cry. If you try to blow a whistle, your hat may fly back.” And so, when Scott stared at the window and blew a whistle, his dad put his hat back on his head.
Scott smiled happily, “It's real fun!” Suddenly, he took his dad's hat and threw it out of the window, and cheerfully said, “Dad, it's your turn now to blow a whistle!”
在火車上,爸爸叫斯科特不要把頭伸出窗外,但是他不聽話。爸爸一下子摘下他的帽子,藏在身后說:“看,你的帽子被吹跑了!”
斯科特哭起來,要找回飛掉的帽子。爸爸說:“別哭,你吹一聲口哨,帽子也許能飛回來?!庇谑?,在斯科特盯著車窗吹口哨的同時,爸爸把帽子戴回了他的頭上。
斯科特高興地笑了:“真好玩!”突然,他摘下爸爸的帽子扔出窗外,快活地說:“爸爸,這回輪到你吹口哨了!”
The coach of a shooting team noticed a row of gun shot holes in a wall, and that each hole had hit right in the center of a small chalk circle. He thought that the guy must be an expert marksman, and he must find him. Finally, he found out that the guy was a 7-year-old boy, and asked him, “Kid, how can you shoot so accurately?”
The boy said, “It's very easy. First, I shot against the wall. Then, I drew a circle around the hole with a piece of chalk.”

When my son and daughter bought three birds, they named them This, That, and The Other. After a few months, This died, and they buried the bird in the backyard.
