“Mine,” boast another,” went down with Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn.”
“I’m the only soldier in my family,” confessed vetnumber three, “but if my great grandfather was living today he’d be the most famous man in the world.”
“What’d he do?” His friends wanted to know.
“Nothing much. But he would be 165 years old.”

“我的曾祖父，另一個說，“在Little Big Horn戰役中和Custer一起以參戰。”
“我是我家族中唯一一個當兵的，”第三個人說，“但是如果我曾今天還活著的話，他一定是世界上最著名的人。
“他是干什么的？“朋友們問他。”也沒什么。只不過他就快成為一名稱65歲的老人了。”
