A blonde buys two horses and she can't tell them apart.

So she asks the farmer next door what to do. He says to cut one of their tails off. So she does. But then the other horse's tail gets caught in a bush and rips off. So she can't tell them apart again.

She asks the farmer for advice a second time. He tells her to cut one of the horses ears. So she does. But then the other horse gets its ear ripped in a barbed wire fence.

She is still confused. She asks the farmer what to do. He tells her to measure them.

She comes back and says, "The white horse is 2 inches taller than the black horse!"

Joke vocabulary :

to tell apart : distinguer

a tail : une queue

rip off : déchirer et ensuite retirer

barbed wire : fil barbelé

an inch : un pouce

Grammar point of the week:

The negative infinitive :

This is quite a straightforward (simple) one. The structure of the negative infinitive is :

" not + full infinitive (verb preceded with to) "

For example : not to go, not to eat, not to read, etc...

Full examples :

. "It was a mistake not to go to the concert. I heard Placebo (music band) were incredible."

. "It's stupid not to eat breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day."

. "It would be crazy not to read the BSE interactive page on a weekly basis."

Hope this helps !
