tuck大口地吃，cor老天爷，

笑话原文】

Two Apples

Harry was given two apples, a small one and a large one, by his mum. "Share them with your sister," she said.

So Harry handed over the small one to his little sister and started tucking into the large one.

"Cor!" Grumbled his sister . "If mum had given them to me, I'd have given you the large one and had the small one myself."

"Well," said Harry. "That’s what you've got, so what are you worrying about?"

中文译文】

两个苹果

妈妈给了哈里两只苹果，一个小的，一个大的。“跟妹妹分着吃，”她说。

于是，哈里就把小的给了妹妹，自己狼吞虎咽地吃着那只大的。

“啊!”他的妹妹说，“要是妈妈给我两只苹果，我就会把大的给你，小的留给我自己。”

“噢，”哈里说。“你拿到的不就是小的嘛，所以你还担心什么?”
