See Those Texas-sized Grasshoppers?
(Originally in English)
A Texan farmer was visiting an Australian farm for
the first time, and he asked his host, “What’s that
growing out there in that field?” The Australian
replied, “Those are watermelons, mate!” So the
Texan scoffed at him and said, “In Texas, we grow
potatoes bigger than that!” Then he asked,
“What’s over there on those trees?” The farmer
replied, “Those are our finest Australian apples!”
And the Texan said, “In Texas, we grow grapes
bigger than that!” Just then, three kangaroos hopped
by very fast. The startled Texan asked, “What are
those?” The Australian farmer said, “You mean
you don’t have grasshoppers in Texas?”
澳洲蚱蜢
一位德州农夫第一次去澳洲参观农田。他问地主：
「那块田里种的是什么？」澳洲地主回答：「老兄，
那是西瓜。」德州农夫嘲笑说：「我们在德州种的
马铃薯比那还大！」 接着他又问：「那些树上长的
是什么？」澳洲农夫回答：「那是我们最好的澳洲苹果！」
德州农夫说：「我们在德州种的葡萄比那还大！」
这时，突然有三只袋鼠很快地跳过去。吃惊的德州农夫问：
「那些是什么？」澳洲农夫回答：「难道你们德州没有蚱蜢吗？」
