At the dinner table one night ,a young boy was telling his parents ,who had not had much education ,that his
schooling made him smarter than people who had not gone to school.
"How is that ?" asked his father .
"Well," said the boy ,"I can reason better .For example ,tell me how many chickens you
think are in that dish ."
"There are two ," answered the father .
"I can prove there are three ,"said the boy .He pointed to the first chicken and said,
"Do you agree that this is one ?"The father agreed。 The boy pointed to the other
chicken and asked ,"And this is two ?" The father again agreed. "Don't one and two
make three?" asked the boy .
"Wonderful ,"answered his father ."You are very clever . Now I'll serve the first
chicken
to your mother ,serve the second to myself, and you can have the third .Is that all
right with you ?"

其母曰：“如何？”
该少年：“比如说，这盘鸡有几只？”其父曰：“2”
该少年：“我能证明这里有3只”，指着第1只鸡说：“这是1”。其父点头。少年指着另一只鸡说：“这是2”。其父又点头。少年又说：“1加2不就等于3么？”其父又感叹到：“说的好，你很聪明，那么第1只鸡给你妈吃，第2只鸡我吃，第3只就留给你做奖励了，怎么样？”
