5 欠揍的理發師
Being rather bald，I have long been used to comforting myself on a visit to the hairdresser with the opening gambit， “Grass doesn’t grow on a busy street.”
However，I was not prepared for the response of one barber， “We always say there’s no sense in putting a roof on the barren land.”
每次去美發中心的時候，我總是以一句自我安慰的話，來提及我那近乎禿頂的腦袋，“繁華的馬路不會長草。”
沒想到，有位理發師這樣應了我一句：“我們是認為，荒蕪的土地就不需要有屋頂。”

"Yes，Dad，I like it very much.” Misha said.
"You learned about the density of population in various parts in the world” Misha’s father asked.
"Yes，of course，we have." Misha answered.
“Do you know where people are the most populous?” Misha’s father asked.
Misha didn't answer immediately. He thought and thought，and then he burst out， “People are the most populous in the bus on Sunday.”
米沙是小學五年級的學生，剛開始學地理。一天晚飯後，他爸爸問他:“米沙，你喜歡地理嗎?”
“喜歡，爸爸，我非常喜歡。”米沙說。
“你們學過世界不同地區的人口密度嗎?”爸爸問。
“當然學過。”米沙回答。
“你知道哪兒的人口密度最大嗎?”爸爸又問。
米沙沒有馬上回答，他想了好一會兒，然後突然大聲叫道:“星期天的公共汽車上人口密度最大。”
