Rebuilding the World重建世界

A father was trying to read the newspaper,but his little son kept pestering him.Finally,the father grew tired of this and,tearing a page from the newspaper--one that bore a map of the world--he cut it into several pieces and handed them to his son.

"Right,now you've got something to do.I've given you a map of the world and I want to see if you can put it back together correctly."

He resumed his reading,knowing that the task would keep the child occupied for the rest of the day.However,a quarter of an hour later,the boy returned with the map.

"Has your mother been teaching you geography"asked his father in astonishment.

"I don't even know what that is,"replied the boy."But there was a photo of a man on the other side of the page,so I put the man back together and found I'd put the world back together,too."

父亲想静下心来看报纸,但小儿子老缠着他。终于,父亲忍无可忍,把一页印着世界地图的报纸撕下来剪成数片,递给儿子说:

“好吧,给你找点事情做。我给你的是一幅世界地图,看看你能不能把他拼回去。”

父亲接着看报,心想这下够儿子忙活老半天了。不料,一刻钟后,儿子便把报纸拼回来了。

“妈妈教你地理了吗?”父亲惊讶地问道。

“我都不知道这边是什么,”男孩子回答。“但报纸的另一面是一个人的照片。我把那个人的照片拼好的同时我发现世界也拼好了。”
