Counting

〔英語笑話〕——  Old man：Doctor, I can't sleep.

                Doctor：Did you try counting ?

                Old man：Yes, I counted to 999, 999.

                Doctor：Then you fell asleep ?

                Old man：No, then it was morning.

                               

數數

〔意譯成詩〕——  昨夜失眠夢難隨，教你數數把夢催。

                就是依照你此舉，數到未夠百萬句；

                然後入睡對不對？已到天明怎可睡！
