A policeman returned to his police station on evening and reported to his sergeant (警长）that he had found an old car without a number plate.

“Where was it?” asked the sergeant.

“In Ecclesiastes Street, near the bridge, but I’ve brought it here,” answered the policeman. The sergeant opened the record book and began to write. When he reached the name of the street, he began to spell loudly: “E-C-L”. He looked at it for a few seconds, then crossed it out and wrote “E-C-K”. He was angry and said to the policeman, “Write the report yourself. I’m too busy now.”

The policeman had a try, too, but after a minute, he put his hat on and began to walk out slowly.

“Where are you going?” the sergeant asked.

“Back to Ecclesiastes Street,” answered the policeman.

A tourist was standing outside a very big church (教堂) in Germany when a wedding (婚礼) party got out of some cars and went into the church. Everybody was very well dressed, and there were a lot of photographers, so the tourist thought, “the people getting married must be famous.” He turned to a man who was standing beside him and said，“What is the name of the man who is getting married?”

The man answered, “Ich spreche kein English.”

The tourist thanked him and went into the church. As he was coming out of another door, a coffin (棺材)was carried out. There had been a funeral service in one of the side chapels (附属教堂)of the church.

The tourist turned to one of the people in the church and said, “Whose funeral was that?”

The man answered, “Ich spreche kein English.”
