When your friend comes to smell his flowers





Two Americans laid a wreath on a comrade's grave and saw, nearby,

a Japanese laying rice on the grave of a countryman. One American

asked, "When do you expect your comrade to come and eat that rice?"

The Japanese replied, "When your friend comes to smell his flowers."."







当你的朋友来闻花香的时候



两个美国人在一个朋友的墓前献上鲜花，这时他们看到附近一个日本人

在朋友的墓前放了一些米饭。一个美国人问道：“你觉得你的朋友什么

时候能来吃这些米饭呢？”

日本人答道：“当你的朋友来闻这些花香的时候？”
