Title : Pink or Green 

 Written in both English and Chinese 

Pink or Green 

I gave my wife a passionate kiss and handed her a gift box. 

 She opened it and found a pair of slippers with one pink and one green. 

“ Paul ... Are you crazy ?” She was upset. 

“ Wait, Judy... I bought pink two days ago. What did you say?”

“ Paul, Change  to Green.” She replied.

“ What did you say yesterday ?” I asked.

“ Change back to pink.” she said.

“What color should I change tomorrow.”  I asked.

“I don’t know.” She replied. 

“ Darling, I don’t want to go out everyday under the pandemic period.  I brought home two colors. They both look nice on you “ I opened my hands and smiled with a big mouth. 

We hugged each other and burst into laughing tears.

 我給妻子一個熱情的吻，遞給她一個禮物盒。

 她打開它，發現了一雙拖鞋，其中一個粉紅色，一個綠色。

 “保羅……你瘋了嗎？” 她有點不滿。

 “等等，朱迪。兩天前我買了粉紅色。 你說什麼？”

 “保羅，去換綠色。” 她回答。

 “你昨天怎麼說？” 我問。

 “再去換粉紅色。” 她說。

 “明天我應該又換什麼顏色。” 我問。

 “我不知道。” 她回答。

 “親愛的，我不想在疫情大流行時期每天都出門去換拖鞋。 我帶了兩種顏色回來。粉紅色和綠色對你很好看“ 我張開兩手空空，現出四萬的微笑。

  我們倆人擁抱著笑淚滿面。
