Persistance
Returning from a golf outing(遠足，短途旅行) , my husband was greeted at the door by Sara, our four-year-old daughter. Daddy, who won the golf game? You or Uncle Richie?
Uncle Richie and I don't play golf to win, my husband hedged(避免作正面答覆) . We just play to have fun.
Undaunted, Sare said, Okay, Daddy, who had more fun?
纏住不放
丈夫打完高爾夫球回來，我們四歲的女兒莎拉在門口迎了上去。爸爸，誰贏了高爾夫球比賽，是你還是理查叔叔?
我和理查叔叔打高爾夫球不是爲贏，丈夫推諉說。我們打球只是爲了好玩而已。
莎拉毫不氣餒，又問：那麼，爸爸，誰覺得更好玩呢?
Logic Reasoning
A fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils a lesson on logic.
Here is the situation, she said. A man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and begins splashing and yelling for help.
His wife hears the commotion, knows that he can't swim, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran to the bank?
A girl raised her hand and asked, to draw out all of his savings?
邏輯推理
小學四年級的'教師正在給學生們上一堂邏輯課。她舉了這麼一個例子：有這樣一種情況，一個男人在河中心的船上釣魚，突然失去重心掉進了水裏。於是他開始掙扎並喊救命。
他的妻子聽到了他的喊聲，知道他並不會游泳，所以她就急忙跑向河岸。誰能告訴我這是爲什麼? 一個女生舉手答道，是不是去取他的存款?
Professor Creighton
Creighton was going along a West end square when he saw a little fellow trying to reach the knocker of a large house.
"Can’t you reach up so high? "asked the professor kindly.
"No，Slr,”said the small youngster.
"Well, then, let me help you,”and the professor mounted the three steps and gave a splendid rat-tat.
The little boy glanced hastily at the gentleman of the cloth. "Come on,”he yelled，"we must both run away.”
克萊頓教授
當克萊頓教授沿着倫敦西區的一個廣場走着的時候，他看見一個小傢伙正試圖抓住一所大房子的門環。
“你是不是夠不到這麼高的地方呢?”教授好意地問。
“是的，先生。”那小孩說。
“那好，讓我來幫你。”教授登上那三級臺階，在門上重重扣了幾下。
那個小男孩急忙給教授遞上一個眼色。“快跑，”他喊着:“我們倆都得跑。”
