开心一笑:勒索圣诞树 An Axe to Grind

A boy begs his father to get him a Christmas tree this year.

一个孩子求他爸爸，说能不能今年为家里准备一棵圣诞树

Each year, the boy asks and the father tells him, "I don't want to pay for it."

小男孩每年求他爸爸得到的都是同样的回答“我可不想为一棵树付钱。”（这个爸爸肯定不是基督教徒，而且还非常抠门）

But the son kept begging . Unable to bear his son's whining , he picks up his axe one day and heads out of the house.

但是小男孩不放弃的一直祈求，终于有一天，他爸被他的哀求折磨得受不了，他拿起一把斧子，直接冲出了门。

Thirty minutes later he returns with a great big Christmas tree. "How did you cut it down so fast?" his son asks.

30分钟后，他爸爸带着一棵超大的圣诞树回到了加。他儿子问：“你怎么会砍得那么快？”

"I didn't cut it down," the father replies.

他爸爸回答到：“我不是砍的”

"I got it at a tree lot."

“我是从一个圣诞树销售中心拿的”

"Then why did you bring an axe ?"

“那你为什么还要带把斧子去呢？”

"Because I didn't want to pay."

“因为我不想付钱”
