英語笑話：I want his wife

When I was in Britain, one of my Chinese classmates wanted to make some chicken soup, so he went to the grocery. He said he wanted to buy "chicken," not knowing the word "hen." So when the grocer showed him a rooster, my classmate shook his head and said"I don't want this one, I want his wife!"
在英國，一中國同學去菜場想買母雞回來燉湯喝，不會說hen，只說要chicken，人家指給他一個大公雞，他搖搖頭，說：“我不想要這只，我要它的老婆。”
