While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends, a college student led the way into the den. What is the big brass gong and hammer for? one of his friends asked. That is the talking clock, the man replied. How's it work?


Watch, the man said and proceeded to give the gong an ear shattering pound with the hammer. Suddenly, someone screamed from the other side of the wall, Knock it off, you idiot! It's two o'clock in the morning!


一个学生带他朋友们参观他的新公寓，甚是得意。“那个大铜锣和锤子是干什么用的？”他的一个朋友问他。“那玩意儿厉害了，那是一个会说话的钟”，学生回答。“这钟怎么工作的”，他的朋友问。“看着，别眨眼了”，那学生走上前一把操起铜锣和锤子，拼命地敲了一下，声音震耳欲聋。突然，他们听到隔壁墙那边有人狂叫，“别敲了，你这白痴！现在是凌晨两点钟了！”

英语小故事……请大家帮我收集一下

the rose bush and the apple tree
near an apple tree grew a rose bush,the rose bush saw how much she was admired and said :who can compare with me ,and who is as worthy as i am?my flowers are beautiful to the sight and sweet to the nostrils .true ,the apple tree is bigger than i ,but what pleasure does he give to mankind?
when the apple tree heard this ,he said ,even though you are worthier than i in the beauty of your blossoms and the sweetness of you smell,you are less worthy in goodness of heart and friendliness.
tell me ,the rose bush said ,what is the evidence of your goodness?
and the apple tree answered:you do not give your flvers to man unless you first wound him with you thorns .but i give my fruit to all,even to those who throw stones at me.
