Clever Bobby

Brown was very proud of his young son. Once he was talking to a visitor， telling the man how clever his son was.

“The boy is only two years old，” he said， “and knows all animals. Hes going to be a great naturalist. Here， let me show you.”

He took a book of natural history from the bookshelf， placed Bobby on his knee， opened the book and showed him a picture of a giraffe.

“Whats that， Bobby？”

“Horsey，” said Bobby. Next of a tiger was shown， and Bobby said， “Pussy.” Then Brown showed Bobby a picture of lion， and Bobby said， “Doggy.” And when a picture of a chimpanzee was shown， Bobby said， “Daddy！”

聪明的博比

布朗非常欣赏他的小儿子。一次他和一位客人聊他的儿子有多聪明。

布朗说：“他只有两岁，就认识所有的动物了。他长大后一定会是一个出色的自然学家。来，我让你看看。”

他从书架上拿下一本自然书，把博比抱到膝上，打开书。指着一张长颈鹿的图片。“博比，这是什么？”

“马马，”博比回答。他又指了一张老虎的画片，博比回答说：“猫咪。”然后布朗又指了一张狮子的图片，博比说：“狗狗。” 他又指了一张黑猩猩的图片，博比说：“爸爸！”
