The story of ten fruits
Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal king told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a trial.
The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways to gather fruits.
The first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples." The king then explained the trial to him. "You have to shove the fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be eaten."
The first apple went in... but on the second one he winced out in pain, so he was killed.
The second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this should be easy.
So he proceeded: 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the 9th berry he burst out in laughter and was killed immediately.
Weeks later, the first guy and the second guy met in heaven. The first one asked, "Why did you laugh, you almost got away with it?"
"I couldn't help it, I saw the third guy coming with pineapples."
參考譯文:三個在森林迷路的人被食人族抓住了。食人族首領(lǐng)對他們說,如果他們能通過一項游戲,他們就能活命。

第一個蘋果被塞進去了…。到第二個的時候,因為疼痛他躲開了,所以,他被吃掉了。
第二個人帶著10個葡萄回來了。當首領(lǐng)向他說明游戲規(guī)則后,他想,對他來說這應(yīng)該很容易。
他開始了,一個,兩個,三個, ……。當?shù)降诰艂葡萄的時候,他大笑了起來,所以,他馬上被吃了。
