Old Farmer Johnson was dying. The family was standing1 around his bed. With a low voice he said to his wife: When I'm dead I want you to marry farmer Jones.
Wife: No, I can't marry anyone after you.
Johnson: But I want you to.
Wife: But why?
Johnson: Jones once cheated me in a horse deal!

老农约翰逊就要去世了。他的家人都站在床边。他声音低沉地对老婆说:我死后,我想你嫁给农夫琼斯。
老婆说:不,在你死后,我不可以嫁给其他人。
约翰逊:但我期望你这么做。
老婆:为何?
约翰逊:由于琼斯曾在一笔贩马的买卖中欺骗了我。
