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(xiàng)游戲，他們就能活命。

　　第一個人回來對食人族首領(lǐng)說：“我?guī)Щ貋砹?0個蘋果。”首領(lǐng)然后向他說明了游戲規(guī)則：“你必須要把這10個蘋果塞進(jìn)你的屁眼里，同時臉上不能有任何表情，否則就吃了你。

　　第一個蘋果被塞進(jìn)去了…。到第二個的時候，因?yàn)樘弁此�躲開了，所以，他被吃掉了。

　　第二個人帶著10個葡萄回來了。當(dāng)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(dāng)?shù)降诰艂�葡萄的時候，他大笑了起來，所以，他馬上被吃了。

　　幾星期過去了，第一個人和第二個人在天堂碰面了。第一個人問第二個人：“你當(dāng)時干嘛笑啊，你都快成功了？”

　　第二個人回答說：“我忍不住啊，我看見第三個人拿著10個菠蘿回來了。”
