My dad's faster than your dad
Found this one in French, thought it was cute. Original first,
followed by my translation. Trois enfants se disputent dans la cour de récréation. Ils disent tous les trois que c'est leur Papa qui est le plus rapide du monde. Le premier dit fièrement: "Moi, mon Papa, il travaille à la SNCF. Il conduit le TGV et il met deux heures pour faire Paris à Lyon." Mais le deuxième répond: "Eh ben moi, mon Papa, il va encore plus vite, il pilote le Concorde et il met trois heures pour aller de Paris à New York." "Eh ben mon Papa, il est encore plus rapide," conclut le troisième. "Il est fonctionnaire. Il finit à cinq heures et tous les jours, à quatre heures et demie, il est à la maison!" - - - Three children are arguing on the playground. Each of them claims that his father is the fastest man in the world. The first one proudly says, "My father works for the National Railroad. He drives the high-speed train, and in two hours he goes from Paris to Lyon." But the second one replies, "Oh, well, my father goes even faster. He pilots the Concorde and in three hours he goes from Paris to New York." "Well, *my* father, he's even faster than that," concludes the third one. "He's a civil servant. He gets off work at five o'clock, and every day he's home by four-thirty!" |
