"A Big Entrance"
This is a short joke, but it has a lot of good, descriptive words that students should learn. It is about a woman who has just died. As with Medium Joke Two, this joke ends with "understatement" - just a simple sentence that makes us think about the woman.
| The (1) graveside (2) service (3) just barely finished, when there was a tremendous (4) bolt of lightning, followed by (5) massive (6) clap of (7) thunder, (8) accompanied by even more thunder (9) rumbling in the distance. The little old man looked at (10) the pastor and calmly said, 'Well, (11) she's there.' | (1) next to where the woman was being put into the ground (2) a ceremony (usually called "a funeral") (3) very closely, only a few seconds ago (4) one big stroke of light from the sky during a storm (5) very, very big (6) a very loud noise (7) the noise that comes after lightning, during a storm (8) together with (9) a loud noise that continues (10) a priest who is leading the ceremony (11) she has arrived |
Explanation: When we read about this kind of ceremony, we think of peace. The woman who passed away is finally "resting in peace" (RIP). At the end, we read about a little old man and imagine the woman was probably a little old woman. But then we are surprised when the little old man connects the lightning and thunder with his wife. From that one sentence, we can guess that she must have been a very tough woman - tough enough even to cause a storm in heaven!Not : *** Sizden gelecek talepler doğrultusunda çeviri yapılacaktır.
