Question

Duke loves eating like a horse. Every day he lets his men do all the housework, so he has enough time to chat ( 聊 天 ) with others.

One afternoon, his friend Bruce invites ( 邀 請 ) him to his birthday party. Duke keeps on chatting at table. At 15:00 o’clock, all the other friends leave, but he doesn’t notice it. Bruce is worried because he must go to the station to meet his sister. But Duke still doesn’t say goodbye to him, and he goes on chatting.

At that time, Duke’s wife comes in and asks her husband, “Would you like a roast (烤制的) bird, dear?” “Of course,” Duke answers, “but where is it?” “I hear a bird singing in the big tree outside now.” says the woman. “I want it to be the last dish. I’ll cut the tree down...” “But I’m afraid it will fly away when you begin to cut the tree,” says Duke. “Don’t worry about it, dear.” the woman says with a smile. “It’s a stupid (愚蠢的) bird.
