Answer 1

分析 一天一個男人正在一所大城市穿行．在街角他看見有個男孩在賣一些關(guān)在籠子里的小鳥．
他傷心的看著這些籠中鳥在籠里上下飛竄，拍打著翅膀，想要出來．
他站著看這了一會，最后他說："這些鳥賣多少錢？"
"一只50美分"小孩說．
男人說："我不是說多少錢一只，我是說一共多少錢，我要買下所有的．"
男孩開始數(shù)，發(fā)現(xiàn)一共5美元，男人說："這是你的錢．"小孩拿過錢，非常滿意今天上午的生意．
給了錢之后，男人打開了籠子，放走了所有的鳥．
男孩很驚訝的喊："你在做什么？你丟了所有的鳥．"
"我會告訴你為什么我這樣做．我作為法國戰(zhàn)俘關(guān)在監(jiān)獄三年，我下定決心不讓任何我能讓其自由的東西關(guān)起來．"男人說．
