The humorous story is strictly a work of art--high and delicate (精美的) art--and only an artist can tell it; But no art is necessary in telling the comic and witty stories; anybody can do it. The art of telling a humorous story--I mean by word of mouth, not print--was created in America, and has remained at home.
The humorous story is told seriously; the teller does his best to hide the fact that he himself even suspects that there is anything funny about it; but the teller of the comic story tells you beforehand that it is one of the funniest things he has ever heard, then tells it with eager delight, and is the first person to laugh.
When he gets through, and sometimes, if he has had good success, he is so glad and happy that he will repeat the point of it and glance around from face to face, collecting applause (喝彩), and then repeat it again.
Which story takes the longest to tell？ ()
A．The humorous story.
B．The witty story.
C．The comic story.
D．All three take the same amount of time.

Deer leave the high ground and come down from the mountains before a storm. If you see this, you can be sure that there will be a storm within two days. When you see large numbers of sea crabs on a sandy beach, it is time to leave. A change in air pressure over the water warns the crabs that a storm is coming. To escape the stormy sea pounding the shore, they leave the water and seek shelter on land.
Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become easily annoyed and will fight over a piece of bread. Other birds sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won’t get another chance for an hour or two. Birds also seek shelter before a storm. You will sometimes see birds resting in trees or staying closely together on a wire near a building. This is a good storm signal.
Seabirds sit out a storm on land. Anytime you see seagulls sitting on the ground in large groups, reluctant to fly, it is not a very good day to go sailing. It is unusual to see large groups of birds flying overhead in the summertime. Watch for other weather signs if you see this. You should also stay alert if you see migrating birds flying in the wrong direction. These birds may be flying ahead of a storm. And if you can’t see a bird anywhere, look out! They may have flown to a different place because a violent storm is coming in their direction.
