HUMOUR


Lucy and Sally are walking along when Lucy looks down and says, "Look". As she stoops and looks at the ground, Sally looks down and asks, "Look at what?". Lucy replies, "Look at that tiny bug...have you ever thought about how little he knows?" Sally kneels on the ground and says, "He doesn't know what day it is, that's for sure!" She continues, "He doesn't know what's on TV tonight, either..."

Lucy spreads her arms and says, "He's never even heard of Farrah Fawcett-Majors" Sally exclaims, "Oh Mary Tyler Moore"
Lucy says, "He doesn't know there's a moon in the sky and fish in the ocean..." Sally says, "He doesn't know anything about kites, or frisbees or even ice cream cones!"

They look down again and Lucy says, "And he's never heard of barbers, or baptism, or bass drums..." Linus walks up to them and asks, "Say do either of you girls know where the new post office is? They look up and Lucy replies, "what new post office?" Sally says, "I didn't even know we had a new post office..."
The bug speaks and Linus replies, "Oh, it is? Thank you very much"
The girls sit in amazement as the bug crawls of singing.

To stoop: agacharse
Bug: Bicho
To kneel: arrodillarse
To spread one's arms: Extender los brazos
Kite: cometa
Bass drum: bombo
Say: oye (dí)
In amazement: asombrada
Crawls of singing: se va cantando
