Two men were sitting together in an airplane。 They were on a long JOURNEY。
One of the men was a teacher。 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 teacher asked。
“We can ask each other riddles,” the farmer said。 “You start” “Let’s make rules first。 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 tought about this for a while, then he said, “ That’s not fair。
You are a teacher, an educated man。 You know more things than I do。 I am just a farmer。” “That’s true, what do you think we should do?” the teacher said。
“If you don’t know the answer to a riddle you pay me 100USD。 If I don’t know the answer to a riddle, i’ll pay you 50USD。
The teacher thought about this, then he said“O。K。 That’s fair。 Who'll go first?”
“I will。 Here is my riddle。
What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?” the farer said。
“ Mm, that’s a good one。 I’m afraid I don’t know the answer。
” He gave the farmer 100USD, then said, “Tell me answer。 What has three legs when it walks but only two legs when it flies?”
“I don’t know,” the farmer said, and gave him 50USD。
