杨先生逛超市记

杨先生是一个非常心大的人。他每天都会遇到一些窘迫的事情,但他总是笑对问题。

有一天,杨先生去超市买菜。他忘记带购物清单了,所以他站在菜架前面,想着该买些什么。他看到一个又大又红的西红柿,就想:“哇,这个西红柿看起来真好吃!我应该买几个。”于是他拿了十个西红柿放进购物篮里。

接下来,杨先生看到一个橙色的东西,但是他不知道那是什么。他决定问一下旁边的女士:“请问,这是什么水果?”女士微笑着回答:“那是木瓜。”杨先生一听,高兴地说:“哦,原来是木瓜!我要买一个。”他把木瓜放进购物篮里。

杨先生还需要买一些牛奶。他来到牛奶区,看到了两种不同的牛奶,一种是红色的盒子,另一种是蓝色的盒子。他犹豫不决,不知道该买哪一种。于是他叫来了售货员,问道:“这两种牛奶有什么不同?”售货员耐心地解释:“红色盒子的牛奶是全脂牛奶,蓝色盒子的牛奶是脱脂牛奶。”杨先生笑着说:“哦,我懂了!我要一盒红色的,一盒蓝色的,这样就既有全脂牛奶,又有脱脂牛奶了!”售货员听了后,不禁笑出声来。

杨先生付了钱,提着购物袋离开了超市。他觉得非常高兴,因为他买了很多好吃的东西。然而,他在回家的路上摔了一跤,购物袋里的东西都掉了出来。西红柿、木瓜和牛奶滚得到处都是!杨先生坐在地上,看着滚来滚去的东西,笑得前仰后合。

虽然杨先生总是遇到一些窘迫的事情,但他从不生气。他相信,笑声是世界上最好的解药。

English Translation

Mr. Yang is a very easygoing person. Every day, he encounters some awkward situations, but he always faces them with a smile.

One day, Mr. Yang went to the supermarket to buy groceries. He forgot to bring his shopping list, so he stood in front of the produce section, trying to figure out what to buy. He saw a big, red tomato and thought, “Wow, this tomato looks delicious! I should get a few.” So, he grabbed ten tomatoes and put them in his shopping basket.

Next, Mr. Yang saw something orange, but he didn’t know what it was. He decided to ask the lady next to him, “Excuse me, what is this fruit?” The lady smiled and replied, “That’s a papaya.” Upon hearing that, Mr. Yang happily said, “Oh, it’s a papaya! I’ll take one.” He placed one papaya in his shopping basket.

Mr. Yang also needed to buy some milk. He went to the dairy section and saw two different kinds of milk—one in a red carton and the other in a blue carton. He hesitated and didn’t know which one to buy. So, he called over the shop assistant and asked, “What’s the difference between these two types of milk?” The shop assistant patiently explained, “The milk in the red carton is full-fat milk, and the one in the blue carton is skim milk.” Mr. Yang smiled and said, “Oh, I see! I’ll take one red carton and one blue carton, so I’ll have both full-fat and skim milk!” The shop assistant couldn’t help but laugh.

After paying for his groceries, Mr. Yang left the supermarket with his shopping bag. He felt very happy because he bought many delicious things. However, he slipped and fell on his way home, and all the items from his bag rolled out. Tomatoes, the papaya, and milk were everywhere! Mr. Yang sat on the ground, looking at the rolling things, laughing heartily.

Even though Mr. Yang always encounters some awkward situations, he never gets angry. He believes that laughter is the best medicine in the world.
