One dark night, two blind(盲的) men were going home from work. “I need to buy some socks,” said one of them suddenly. “Let’s stop at the shop on the street.” “OK,” said the other. “I think I’ll buy two or three pairs for myself, too.” They went to the shop.
“What size do you wear, sir? And what colour would you like?” asked the girl in the shop.
“Size Eleven. Give me one pair of black socks and two pairs of white, please,” answered one of them. “And you, sir?” the girl asked the other man. “The same for me. I wear Size Eleven, too. So, the same colour and the same number,” said the other man.
A moment later they were in the dark street. Each man took the socks he had bought. But just then, a boy riding a bicycle bumped(撞) into them. The blind men dropped(掉) all the socks on the ground! All the six pairs of socks mixed up. The boy quickly said sorry and left. The two blind men picked up all the socks, but they could not tell black from white. How could they be sure that they each got one pair of black socks and two pairs of white socks? They tried to ask for help, but there was no one else in the street. What could they do?
Soon one of them had an idea. Can you guess what it was? They separated(分开) each pair of socks and both took one sock from each pair. When they got home, each of them had two black socks and four white ones of the same size –just what they wanted. Weren’t they clever?
