One day a farmer bought four donkeys(驴)in the market in the village.He got on one of them and began to ride home.As he was going along,he noticed that there were only three donkeys walking in front of him."I wonder what happened,"he said to himself."I bought and pai for four donkeys,but now it seems that I have only three."He was forgetting,of course,to count the donkey he was riding.
When he got home,his wife met him in front of their house,"I see that you bought fine donkeys,"she said."Did you buy them at a good price?" "Yes,I did,"he said."But something drives me crazy.I bought four donkeys at the market this morning.And I am sure that I had all four with me when I left the market.But now it seems that I have only three.See?One,two,three."He still didn't remember that he rode one of the donkeys in the village and was siting on the back at that very moment.
At first his wife stared at(盯着)him,waiting for him to smile,for she thought he was joking.Then when she noticed that he was not,she turned away and laughed."How funny,"she said."You only see three,but I see five."
