鼠数薯(Rat counting sweet potatoes)

鼠叔漱蔬，署鼠数薯。（老鼠的叔叔在洗菜，让老鼠数白薯。/A rat's uncle asks him to count sweet potatoes when he himself washed his vegetables.）

数薯殊，鼠数数数疏，癙。（有几只白薯很特别，老鼠数了几次都数漏了，就很郁闷。/The rat feels frustrated as he missed counting some extraordinary-looking ones repeatedly.）

叔熟数术，鼠述：?¡ã孰熟孰数！?¡À（叔叔数东西很熟练，老鼠就说：?¡ã谁数得熟练谁数白薯！?¡À/The rat says,"One who is proficient shall take the counting!" as the uncle is a veteran.）

叔恕鼠，述数术（叔叔原谅了老鼠，把数东西的本领讲给老鼠听。/The uncle forgives the rat and tells him how to count correctly.）

鼠倏数薯，书数。（老鼠很快地数了白薯，把数量写了出来。/The rat counts again quickly, and writes down the count.）

叔束薯输墅（叔叔把白薯捆扎起来送去别墅。/The uncle binds the sweet potatoes together and carries them to his vila.）

鼠舒（老鼠也爽了。/The rat feels good.）

Take it easy!
Nothing serious;just a funny combination of story and twister.
Enjoy it!

i am sorry,dear friend
i just come back late
and the LZ has offered his translation

BTW, how long does it take for a farmer to be a CEO here?

okay.....good to speak chinese in this section

To web master:
I posted my thread in "free talk" so as to amuse our web friends.
Someone moved it here, and would it be too hard for a foreigner who is picking up Chinese?
Maybe some will get frightened, thinking Chinese to be the most difficult language in the world.
Hope not...
Actually there was a combination likewise written by Mr. Zhao Yuanren (赵元任) named Tale of a Mr. Shi Eating Leon (施氏食狮史), which perfectly reflect the advantage of Chinese characters over  Latin Pinyin.
This may contribute to those who feels like knowing the history of morden Chinese.

where can i read the content of that book?

Some slight modifications on the post.
Hope everyone enjoy it.
Happy the Festival of Lanterns!

Can not read it. It seems I need reread the elementary school.
