Prize 獎品
Little Albert came1 home from school with a new book under his arm. "It's a prize2, mother," he explained3.
"A prize? What for, dear?"
"For natural4 history. Teacher asked me how many legs an ostrich5 has, and I said6 three."
"But an ostrich has only two legs."
"I know it now. But all the pupils said four, so I was7 the closest."
小阿爾伯特腋下夾著一本新書從學校回家來了。「這是獎品,媽媽。」他解釋道。
「獎品?因為什麼得的。親愛的?」
「因為自然課得的。老師問我鴕鳥有幾條腿,我說有三條。」
「但是鴕鳥是兩條腿啊。」
「我現在知道了。但其他學生都說有四條。所以還是我最接近正確答案。」
