No.2 特困生 (Te 4 Kun 4 Sheng 1)

班上有一个同学在上课的时候睡觉。
校长来到教室问：“这里有没有特困生？”
这位同学坐起来，迷迷糊糊地说：“我就是特困生，我现在特别想好好睡一觉！”

The president of the school came in the class and asked:" Are there any poor students?" A student who was sleeping waked up and answered:" Here I am. I really want to have a sound sleep."

困 is a multisense word. It can refer to "poor", "difficulty" and "sleepy". 特困生 means poor student. Students from the poor areas can't afford their tuition and the school authorities usually have some preferential policies for them, for example, reducing or exempt their tuition or offering them some opportunities to do some part-time jobs to earn money.

In the joke, the student mistook 特困生 as the one who wants to sleep. Really funny.
