Excerpt 1: A Mirror in an Exhibition Hall
A couple is viewing art works with great interest in an exhibition hall. The nearsighted wife stands in front of a piece, looking left and right. Finally, she says in a critic's tone, "This is the ugliest portrait I have ever seen!" The husband quickly pulls her aside and whispers, "Come here, dear. This isn't a portrait—it's a mirror."
Excerpt 2: Mending Pants
Mr. Matthew comes home from work and sees his wife folding clothes. She says embarrassedly, "Dear, when I ironed your suit earlier, I accidentally burned a big hole in the pants." "It's okay," Matthew comforts her, "I have an extra pair of pants for that suit." "I was thinking the same thing," she replies, "Look, I've already patched the hole with that pair of pants."
