双语幽默：童话开篇

　　Fairy Tales Beginning

　　The little girl had just listened to her mother's reading one of her favorite fairy tales.

　　"Mommy," asked the child, "do all fairy tales begin with 'Once Upon a Time'...?"

　　"No, sweetheart," replied the mother, "sometimes they start with 'Darling, I have to work a little late at the office tonight'."

　　童话开篇

　　小女孩刚刚听母亲讲了她最喜欢的一篇童话故事。

　　“妈咪，”小女孩问，“是不是所有的童话故事开头都是‘很久很久以前’。”

　　“不，宝贝，”母亲回答，“有时它们的开头是‘亲爱的，我今晚不得不在办公室里加班，晚些回来’。”
