13、NOT SO STUPID

Two men are sitting together in an airplane. They are on a long journey. One man is a teacher. The other is a farmer.

They sit for a while, and then the teacher says,“Let’s do something to pass the time. Let’s ask other riddle. If we don’t know the answer to a riddle, we have to pay. ”

The farmer thinks about this for a while , then he says,“That’s not fair. You’re a teacher. You know more things than I do. I’m just a farmer.”

“Yes, that’s true! What do you think we should do?”the teacher asks.

“If you don’t know the answer to a riddle, you should pay me 100 yuan. If I don’t know the answer to a riddle , I’ll pay you 50 yuan.”the farmer says.

“OK! That’s fair. Who’ll go first?”the teacher says after a while.

“I will.”the farmer says.

“Here is a riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?”

The teacher repeats the riddle, “Oh, this is a good one. I’m afraid I don’t know the answer.”He gives the farmer 100 yuan. Then he asks,“What’s the answer?”

“I don’t know.”the farmer says, and gives the teacher 50 yuan.

13不是很愚蠢

两个男人乘坐一架飞机坐在一起。他们进行一次很长的旅行。

一个男人是老师。另一个是农民。

他们沉默地坐了一会，农民说：“让我们做点什么来消磨时间吧。”

“你想做什么？”老师问道。

“我们可以彼此问对方谜语，”农民回答，“从你开始。”

“让我们先来定规则吧，”老师说，“让我们玩这个游戏更有乐趣。我们玩带钱的。如果我们不知道谜语答案，我们要付一美元。”

农民思考了一会，他说，“那不公平。你是一名老师，是受过教育的。你知道的比我多。我只是个农民。”

“这也对，”教师说。“那你认为我们应该怎么做？”“如果你不知道谜语的答案，你得给我100美元。如果我不知道谜语答案，我给你50美元。”

老师想了想，然后他说：“好的。这很公平。谁先来？”

“我先来。”农民说道。“这是我的谜语。什么东西走路时三条腿，而飞的时候两条腿呢？”

老师重复了下谜语，“什么东西走路时三条腿，而飞的时候两条腿呢？恩，真是个好问题。我恐怕我不知道答案。”

他给了农民100美元，然后说，“告诉我答案。什么东西走路时三条腿，而飞的时候两条腿？”“我不知道，”农民回答道，然后给了老师50美元。
