“Find a girl just like your mother—then she's bound to like her.
So the young man searched and searched, and finally found the girl.He told his friendly adviser:
“Just like you said, I found a girl who looked,talked,dressed, and even cooked like mother.And just as you said,mother liked her”
“So,”asked the friend,“what happened?”
“Nothing,”said the young man.“My father hates her!”
37.和母亲一样的女孩
无论带哪一个女孩回家,这位青年人总会遭到母亲的反对。一位朋友劝他说:
“找一个和你母亲一样的女孩——那她一定会喜欢她。”
于是这位青年人不停地找啊找,终于找到了这么个女孩。
他对他友好的忠告者说:
“正像你说的那样,我找到一个长相、谈吐、穿着打扮,甚至连烹饪都和我母亲一样的女孩。也正像你说的那样,我母亲喜欢她。”
“那后来呢?”朋友问。
“没什么,”青年人说。“我父亲讨厌她!”
