The Diaries of Adam and Eve / アダムとイブの日記

she says they weren't apples, but instead that they were chestnuts
----------------------------
I said I was innocent since I had not eaten any chestnuts
---------------------
but the Serpent informed her that "chestnut" could also have a figurative meaning
-----------------------------------
she says a chestnut can be an aged and mouldy joke
-------------------------------
I turned pale at this definition
-------------
She asked me if I had made any jokes just at the time of the catastrophe
---------------------------
I was obliged to admit that I had made a joke to myself
----------------------------
although I did not make the joke aloud
------------------
this was the joke I was thinking to myself:
--------------------:
I was thinking about the waterfalls
------------
"How wonderful it is to see that vast body of water tumble down there!"
-----------------------------------!-
Then in an instant a bright thought flashed into my head
-----------------------
"It would be a great deal more wonderful to see the water tumble up the waterfall!"
-----------------------------!-
I was just about to die from laughing when all nature broke loose
----------------------------------
