John said he thought the jam was porridge. Mary looked at the red mess on the ground. John said the chicken were drunk. Mary came home.

Step III Homework Finish the exercises on workbook. 写作时应注意以下几点：

1. 确定文体：幽默故事大多属于记叙文。

2. 主体时态：文章以一般过去时或一般现在时为主。

3. 主体人称：第一人称或第三人称。

4. 内容要点：①故事场景；②展开情节；③意外结尾。

Step II 思路引导

写幽默故事首先要设计好故事发生的场景，即时间、地点、主要人物和发生的事。做好前文的铺垫之后，故事最后的点睛之笔（punchline）才显得既在情理之中又出乎意料之外。相声中称之为“抖包袱”，即把之前设置的悬念揭开，或者把前文铺垫酝酿好的笑料关键部分说出来。

写幽默故事时要注意前文的逻辑顺序，结尾处要与人们的生活常识或经历相矛盾，这样才能使人联系上下文体会到幽默所在。写英文幽默故事，还应注意东西方人思维方式的差异以及汉英语言文化背景的差异。

Step III 实战演练

根据所给的提示，续写故事，要有出人意料的结局。

“Oh, I’m so sorry!” said the man. “Are you OK?”

My grandmother was too frightened to reply. But after a while she said she was fine. “Look!” she heard someone say from across the street. “An old woman just fell down!”

She quickly sat up and looked around with great concern and said, “Where?”
