原文: Tough Love

A dying man smells his favorite oatmeal raisin cookies cooking downstairs. It takes all the strength he has left but he gets up from the bed and crawls down the stairs. He sees the cookies cooling on the counter and staggers over to them. As he reaches for one, his wife's wrinkled hand reaches out, smacks his and she yells:

"No, you can't have those! They're for the funeral!"

译文: 苦涩的爱

     一个垂死的人闻到他最爱的葡萄干麦甜饼的香味从楼下传来。他竭尽全力从床上爬起来然后爬到了楼下。他看到了那些饼干被放在柜台上冷却,便摇摇晃晃地靠近它们。当他刚够到了一块,他的妻子伸出皱巴巴的手,打开他的手并大叫:

     不,你不能吃这些饼干!它们是为葬礼准备的!
