【童趣】还原秋兰自删的童话

A Fable by renqiulan

Once upon a time there were three blind mice, all of which were

supposed to be geniuses. Indeed, they were inspired enough to

figure out how to "bell" their nemesis. Better yet, they had a wide-

eyed fellow mouse do their bidding. While awaiting good news, the

long-suffering mice had peace to enjoy and share. Then came a feline

voice: “Who still wants to hang a Taco Bell box around my neck?”

中国好像也有这样的寓言故事，英语一写，别有味道。不过，小R同意复原吗？

版主早安！昨晚给了秋兰一个悄悄话，回说不反对，尊重读者意见。

我这个算是ZT吧。秋兰这个童话，跟原庄的不同，富美式幽默（deadpan humor）。

三只瞎聰明的耗子，使一只睁大呆眼的耗子给猫挂个Taco Bell 盒子。Taco Bell 会响么？

啥意思，请解释

版主好！您是问这个童话的寓意吗？

是的，这个故事有反转，设计复杂一层。小R为啥删了呢？

人尽皆知的童话情节，改几笔，就别不同。Taco Bell 是引人发噱的关键词。

+100

还有“3 blind mice ”和“a wide-eyed fellow mouse ”。

renqiulan: " 难言，就是觉得不太妥。"

Thank you! These are also key words.

同感，准确！

Does this fable work? Let the chips fall where they may.

Well said.

Taco Bell 是Taco啊，不是bell，猫一口就吃掉了。

俺是明知故问的。可怜睁眼瞎的耗子不知道。Deadpan humor 就在这一点上。

好解释啊！

This post of mine leaves sth to be desired.
