It was the christmas season and the judge was in a merry mood as he asked the prisoner "what is your offense?"

"I did my christmas shopping early this year ", cried the prisoner.

"There's nothing wrong with that ", said the judge ."How early were you doing this shoping?"

"Before the store opened",answered the prisoner.

圣诞节来临，法官心情愉悦地问犯人：“你做了什么坏事啊”。

“我今年的圣诞节购物早了些”，囚犯回答道。

"这么做没有什么错啊"，法官说，“到底多早之前啊”。

“商店开门之前”，囚犯回答道。
