Back to School
==============
The Winter Break was over and the teacher was asking the class about their vacations. She turned to little Johnny and asked what he did over the break.
"We visited my grandmother in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania," he replied.
"That sounds like an excellent vocabulary word," the teacher said. "Can you tell the class how you spell 'Punxsutawney'?"
Little Johnny thought about it and said, "You know, come to think of it, we went to Ohio."

================
冬休みが終って、先生が生徒たちに休みをどうすごしたか質問していた。
先生「ジョニ―は休みの間、どうしてたの?」
ジョニー「ええっと、ぼくは、ペンシルバニア州のパンクスサトーニーのおばあちゃんのところにいっていました」
先生「ずいぶん難しい地名ね。みんなにどう書くのか教えてあげて」
ジョニー「……えっと、考えたら、行ったのはオハイオ州でした」
