The Easiest Question in the World

〔英語笑話〕——  One day a rich man met Sam. The rich man asked.

               “ I hear you are very clever and nothing is difficult

                for you. Can you tell me why you are so clever ?”

                Sam said,“ Master, please don't be angry. If you don't

                believe what I say, now let me ask you a question. If you

                have a group of sheep, I send you another group. Then how

                many groups of sheep do you have ?”

               “ Alas ! That's the easiest question in the world.

                One plus one is two. Anybody knows that I have two

                groups of sheep. ”

                Sam laughed and said,“ You are wrong, Master, Two

                groups of sheep put together is still one group.

                That's the easiest question in the world.”

                               

最簡單的問題

〔意譯成詩〕——  你有一群羊，再送你一群，

                共有多少羊？一群加一群，

                就是二群羊。完全說錯了，

                二群放一起，還是一群羊。
