Minggu lalu, guru Bahasa Inggris di kelasku mengajarkan tentang 'spoof'. Menurut kamus di hape-ku, spoof itu artinya lelucon. Mungkin tidak jauh berbeda dengan joke, entahlah hehehe...
Guruku juga menjelaskan sedikit perbedaan antara spoof dengan anecdote. Beliau berkata bahwa anecdote menceritakan suatu hal yang aneh dan tidak biasa, sedangkan spoof awalnya biasa saja, namun pada bagian akhirnya barulah sesuatu yang lucu terjadi. Kira-kira seperti itulah yang bisa kutangkap, kurang lebih.
Setelah itu, guruku juga memberi tugas untuk mencari 2 buah spoof. Biar lebih ramai, di bawah ini adalah tugas yang sudah diberikan oleh guruku tersebut.
This story is about a boy, Michael. He was ten years old. He was not a very good student because he didn't like studying. He like playing football, and he spend his time just to play football. He liked football very much.
One day his teacher looked at Michael's homework, and his homework was all correct. "Wow, that's a good think" , the teacher said suprisely.
Of course the teacher suprised, because not usually Michael's homework was correct. So the teacher called Michael to his office and said to him, "Michael, all your homework right this one. You're doing great. Well done Michael. Did your father help you ?" , the teacher said.
"No, sir", Michael said. "Usually my father did it for me. But last night he was very busy. He had a work. So, he couldn't do my homework. Then, I had to do it myself", Michael said.
A vampire bat came flapping in from the night, face all covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep.
Pretty soon, all the other bats smelt the blood and began hassling him about where he got it. He told him to piss off and let him get some sleep, but they persisted until he finally gave in.
"OK, follow me," he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him. Down through a valley they went, across a river into a huge forest.
Finally, he slowed down and all the other bats were excitedly around him with their tongues hanging out for blood.
"Do you see that large oak tree over there?" he asked. "Yes, yes, yes!!!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy.
"Good!" said the first bat, "because I didn't!"
