Funny story

A man with two red ears went to see his doctor.Doctor: What happened to your ears?Man: I was ironing a shirt and the phone rang but instead of picking up the phone, I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear. Doctor: Oh, dear! But what happened to your other ear?Man: The scoundrel （恶棍） called back!

Tongue twisters:A big black bear sat on a big black bug.

The big black bug bit the big black bear and made the big black bear bleed blood.

Then the big black bear beat the big black bug and a baby black bug.

Big black bugs bleed blue black blood but baby black bugs bleed blue blood.
