良好的心愿

One day a boy came to his teacher and said:" Teacher, pa wants to know if you like roast pig。
  "

一天有个男孩去对他老师说：“老师，我爸想知道你是不是爱吃烤猪肉。”

"I certainly do," said the teacher, "and you tell your father he is very kind to think of me。
  "

“当然罗，”老师说，“去告诉你父亲，多谢他想着我。”

Days passed, and nothing more was said about the roast pig。

好几天过去了，再没提起考猪肉的事儿。

Finally the teacher said to the boy:"I thought your father was going to send me over some roast pig。
  "
