"How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it？" the people in the crowd asked each other． Some of them tried． The dressmaker kicked dirt（泥土）over the line to hide it． The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear． None of these efforts worked， and the people went home disappointed． Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle．
A week passed， and nobody had any new ideas． Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour（面粉）．
"Your Majesty， "the baker said to the king，" I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it． "Then the baker opened his bag of flour． He poured out a line of flour right next to the king's line． The line the baker made was longer than the king's line．
"Now， good king， "the baker smiled， "your line is shorter．"
