WHY MY MOM LEARNT TO PLAY
CLARINET?
My parents recently retired. Mom always wanted to
learn to play the piano, so dad bought her a piano for
her birthday.A few weeks later, I asked how she was
doing with it.
“Oh, we returned the piano.” said My Dad, “I
persuaded her to switch to a clarinet instead.”
“How come?” I asked.
“Because,” he answered, “with a clarinet, she
can’t sing.”

TẠI SAO MẸ TÔI HỌC CHƠI CLARINET?
Ba mẹ tôi gần đây nghỉ hưu. Mẹ tôi luôn muốn học
chơi piano, vì vậy ba tôi mua cho bà một cái trong
ngày sinh nhật. Một vài tuần sau, tôi hỏi bà chơi đàn
như thế nào.
“Ồ, ba mẹ trả lại cây đàn piano.” Ba nói, “ba thuyết
phục mẹ thay vào đó chuyển sang chơi clarinet.”
“Sao vậy?” tôi hỏi.
“Vì,” ông trả lời, “với một cây clarinet, mẹ không
thể hát.”

“It’s very uncomfortable at first”, says the
second man. “You get the shakes, and you get pains
in all your fingers and toes. But eventually, it’s a
very calm way to go. You get numb and you kind of
drift off, as if you’re sleeping. How about you, how
did you die?”
“I had a heart attack,” says the first man.
“You see, I knew my wife was cheating on me, so
one day I showed up at home unexpectedly. I ran up
to the bedroom, and found her alone, knitting. I ran
down to the basement, but no one was hiding there,
either. I ran up to the second floor, but no one was
hiding there either. I ran as fast as I could to the
attic,
and just as I got there, I had a massive heart attack
and died.”
The second man shakes his head. “That’s so
ironic,” he says. ……
