Анекдот - Обещание

Suddenly, a GIGANTIC wave flashed up (вдруг гигантская волна нахлынула) on the beach, sweeping the little girl out to sea (сметя маленькую девочку в море).
«Oh, God,» lamented (застонала, жаловалась) the mother, turning her face toward heaven (поворачивая свое лицо к небу) and shaking her fist (потрясая кулаком).
«This was my ONLY baby (это был мой единственный ребенок). I can't have more children (я больше не могу иметь детей). She is the love and joy of my life (она любовь и радость моей жизни).
I have cherished every day (дорожила, наслаждалась каждым днем; to cherish — лелеять, дорожить) that she's been with me (который она была со мной). Give her back to me (отдай мне ее: “дай обратно, назад”), and I'll go to the synagogue every day for the rest of my life!!! (и я буду ходить в синагогу каждый день всю оставшуюся жизнь; rest — остаток)»
Suddenly, another GIGANTIC wave flashed up and deposited (вынесла) the girl back on the sand (на песок).
The mother looked up to heaven and said, «She had on a HAT!!! (на ней была шляпка)»

  One day a Jewish Mother and her 8-year-old daughter were walking along the beach, just at the water's edge. Suddenly, a GIGANTIC wave flashed up on the beach, sweeping the little girl out to sea.
  "Oh, God," lamented the mother, turning her face toward heaven and shaking her fist.
  "This was my ONLY baby. I can't have more children. She is the love and joy of my life. I have cherished every day that she's been with me. Give her back to me, and I'll go to the synagogue every day for the rest of my life!!!"
