英语小笑话:款待Treat  

As a rookie in the Atlantic City
N.J.
Police department
I was assigned a beat on the boardwalk. Hardly a day went by when I didn't e upon a child who had bee separated from his parents.
One afternoon
I spotted a small boy standing alone
obviously lost. I tried to gain his confidence - I took him to the nearest ice-cream stand and bought him a cone. Time passed with no sign of the boy's parents
so the next step was to call for a patrol car to take him to headquarters. I told the small fry to stay put while I went to the call box. When I returned
he was nowhere in sight.
Within minutes
the car arrived
and one of the patrolmen asked me where the child was. I felt stupid; it's humiliating to say you've lost a lost child. But I told the officers what had happened and gave a description of the boy. What did you treat him? asked one of the men.
An ice-cream cone. Why?
Because
answered the officer
that kid lives only a few blocks from here
and you've about the fifth rookie he's conned for a treat!我是新泽西州大西洋城警察局的一名新警察。我被指派巡逻一条海滨的路线，几乎每天都能碰上与父母走散的孩子。
一天下午，我发现一个小孩独自站在那里，显然是迷了路。我先是设法取得他的信任－我带他到附近的冰淇淋摊给他买了一个蛋筒。过了很长时间，也没看见他父母的影子，所以我就准备打电话叫辆巡逻车将他送回总部去。我告诉他站在那里别动，我去电话亭打电话。当我回来时，却发现他不知道到哪儿去了。
警车很快来了。一名警察问我小孩在哪里。我感觉自己傻极了，说自己弄丢了一个迷路的小孩，该多丢人啊！但我还是告诉了警察们所发生的一切，并描述了一下小孩的长相。你请他吃了什么？一名警察问。
一个冰淇淋蛋筒。怎么啦？
因为，那名警察说，那个小孩住的地方离这儿只隔几个街区。而你大概是新警察中帮他买东西吃的第五个傻瓜蛋！
