Your Coat Is on Fire
The master, to impress on his pupils the need of thinking before speaking, told them to count fifty before saying anything important, and one hundred if it was very important.
The next day he was speaking, standing with his back to the fire, when he noticed several lips moving rapidly. Suddenly the whole class shouted: Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, a hundred. Your coat is on fire, sir!
您的大衣著火了
老師為了讓學(xué)生記住先思考后發(fā)言，告訴他們在說出重要事情之前先數(shù)到50，如果是特別重要的事情，要先數(shù)到100。 第二天，當(dāng)老師背靠著火爐講課時，發(fā)現(xiàn)好幾個學(xué)生的嘴唇在很快地不停地動。突然，全班學(xué)生一起喊道：九十八，九十九，一百。老師，您的大衣著火了！
