The Long and Short of It_英语幽默故

    although i had never met him, i knew that my grandfather had been five feet, six inches tall, while my stately grandmother stood five feet, eleven inches. as a teen-ager leafing through old photographs with grandma, i finally realized how unusual they must have looked together .
    "grandma, " i asked, "how could you have fallen in love with a man five inches shorter than you?"
    she turned to me. "honey," she said, "we fell in love sitting down, and when i stood up, it was too late."
