Learning Japanese

"Listening Indian"*

*Two cowboys come upon an Indian lying on his
stomach with his ear to the ground. One of the
cowboys stops and says to the other, "You see that Indian?"

"Yeah," says the other cowboy.

"Look," says the first one, "he's listening to the
ground. He can hear things for miles in any direction."

Just then the Indian looks up. "Covered wagon,"
he says, "about two miles away. Have two horses,
one brown, one white. Man, woman, child, furniture in wagon."

"Incredible!" says the cowboy to his friend. "This
Indian knows how far away they are, how many
horses, what color they are, who is in the wagon,
and what is in the wagon. Amazing!"

The Indian looks up and says, "Yep, they ran
over me about a half hour ago."

*"Learning Japanese" *

*A couple was delighted when finally their long
wait to adopt a baby came to an end. The adoption
center called and told them they had a wonderful
Japanese baby boy, and the couple took him without hesitation.

On the way home from the adoption center, they
stopped by the local college so they each could enroll in night courses.

After they filled out the form, the registration clerk
inquired, "What ever possessed you to study Japanese?"

The couple said proudly, "We just adopted a
Japanese baby and in a year or so he'll start to
talk. We just want to be able to understand him."
