让狗羞愧 一楼住户不知从哪儿弄来一只大狗。初来乍到，它警惕性非常高，一有点响动就狂吠不已。我家在六楼，尽管每天上下楼蹑手蹑脚，但十有八九还是要被狂吠一通。我胆子小，狗一叫我就拼命跑，生怕它突然冲出来。 周日，我去接正在上英语培训班的小侄子到家里吃饭。刚进一楼，大狗照旧“汪汪汪”地叫起来，叫得我心惊肉跳。小侄子却一点也不害怕，扯起嗓子对着喊：“吐吐吐”。奇怪的是，“吐吐”几声后，大狗居然偃旗息鼓，不叫了，并且发出可怜的“哼哼”声。 回到家，我问小侄子用什么办法，居然能镇住这么凶猛的狗。小侄子洋洋得意地说：“当狗对你汪汪叫时，它其实是在说one(一)，你就回two(二)，这时狗因为无法回你three(三)，非常惭愧，就不叫了。”
