Two men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey.
One of the men was a businessman. The other was a farmer.
They sat without talking for a while, then the farmer said.“Let's do something to pass the time.”
“What do you want to do?”the businessman asked.
“We can ask each other riddles,”the farmer said.“You start.”
“Let's make the rules(規(guī)則) first,”the businessman said.“And let's make the game more interesting. Let's play it for money. If we don't know the answer to a riddle, we have to pay a dollar.”
The farmer thought about this for a while, then he said,“That's not fair(公平). You are a businessman with much knowledge. You know more things than I do. I am just a farmer.”
“That's true,”the businessman said.“What do you think we should do?”“If you don't know the answer to a riddle, you pay me $100. If I don't know the answer to a riddle, I'll pay you $50,”the farmer said.
The businessman thought about this, then he said,“OK. That's fair. Who'll go first?”
“I will,”the farmer said.“Here is my riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?”
The businessman repeated(重復) the riddle,“What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies? Mm, that's a good one. I'm afraid I don't know the answer.”

A man was trying to find the village of Chirton. He could not find any sign for it so he decided to drive up to a farmhouse and ask a farmer for directions.
He soon came to the entrance to a farm. Above the gate there was a sign: Please close the gate.
The man knew this meant there were cows in the fields, so he was very careful to close the gate after him.
Before long he came to another gate. This, too, had a sign: Please close the gate. Once again he got out of his car, opened the gate, drove through, stopped his car, got out, closed the gate, got back into his car and drove on.
It wasn't long before he came to a third gate. This, too, had a sign: Please close the gate. Again the man got out of his car, opened the gate, drove through, stopped his car, got out, closed the gate, got back into his car and drove on.
He did this five times before he reached the farmhouse. Fortunately(幸運地), the farmer was standing at the door.
“What can I do for you?”he asked the man.
“I'm looking for Chirton. Do you know where it is?”
“Sorry,”the farmer said. “I've only been here a few weeks. I don't know the area(地區(qū)).”
The man thanked him, and drove back to the road. On the way he had to open and close five gates.
When he reached the road he looked back at the farm. He could see the farmer waving(揮手) him. “Ah!”he thought, “He's remembered where Chirton is.”
He turned around, stopped his car, got out, opened the gate, drove through, stopped the car, got out, closed the gate, got back in the car and drove off. He had to do this four more times before he reached the farm.
“Have you remembered where Chirton is?”he asked the farmer. “No,” the farmer replied(回答), “but I asked my wife. She doesn't know either. ”
