I sold the television

Here is a short funny joke between son and mother.

Robbin asked his mother whether they could have a video.
"I’m afraid we can’t afford one," sighed his mother.

But on the following day in came Robbin, staggering beneath the weight of a brand-new video.

"How on earth did you pay for that?" gasped his mother.
"Easy, Mum." replied Robbin, "I sold the television!"

买录像机

罗宾问妈妈他们是否能买一台录像机。

“恐怕我们还买不起，”妈妈叹息着说。

可第二天当罗宾回来时，他摇摇晃晃地搬着一台全新的录像机。

“你究竟是哪儿来的钱买这东西？”妈妈大吃一惊，喘着气说。

“妈妈，这简单，” 罗宾回答。“我把电视机给卖了！”
