双语笑话:十二张卡片 12 Post Cards

      12 Post Cards

       My teen-age daughter was preparing to return home after having visited her grandparents for a few weeks one summer. Her grandfather gave her 12 post cards .

　　"Here, write us a few lines every month," he said.

　　Months passed and the cards remained unused-that is until the day this letter arrived:

　　"Dear Jennifer,

　　Life is a series of stages.

　　As a child, I looked forward to becoming a teenager-that happened.

　　As a teen-ager ,I looked forward to becoming a young man-that happened.

　　As a young man, I looked forward to meeting a young woman, in love and becoming a married man-that happened.

　　As a married man, I looked forward to becoming a father-that happened.

　　As a father, I looked forward to becoming a grandfather to beautiful ,intelligent grandchildren-that happened.

　　Then I looked forward to the day they would learn to write-that hasn't happened yet.

　　Yours Sincerely"
