那人目瞪口呆地瞧著這小男孩
Bill is a good student and an intelligent boy. He likes to study arithmetic, and he can do all of the arithmetic problems in his book easily.
One day on his way to school, Bill passed a fruit store. There was a sign in the window which said, "Apple-Six for five cents." An idea came to Bill and he went into the store.
"How much are the apples?" he asked the store.
"Six for five cents."
"But I don't want six apples."
"How many apples do you want?"
"It is not a question of how many apples I want. It is a problem in arithmetic."
"What do you mean by a problem in arithmetic?" asked the man.
"Well, if six apples are wroth five cents, then five apples are worth four cents, four apples are worth three cents, three apples are worth two cents, two apples are worth one cent and one apple is worth nothing. I only want one apple, and if one apple is worth nothing then it is not necessary for me to pay you."
Bill picked out a good apple, began to eat it, and walked happily out of the store. The man looked at the young boy with such surprise that he could not say a word.
比爾是個聰明的男孩，也是個好學生。他喜歡學數學，可以輕松做出他書上的所有數學題。
有天在上學路上，比爾經過一家水果店，櫥窗里有塊標牌上寫著：“蘋果－－六個五分錢。”比爾冒出個想法，走進店去。
“蘋果多少錢？”他問店里。
“六個五分錢。”
“可我不想要六個。”
“你想要幾個？”
“這不是我想要幾個的問題，這是個數學問題。”
“數學問題，你什么意思啊？”那人問。
“你看，要是六個蘋果值五分錢，那五個蘋果就值四分錢，四個蘋果就值三分錢，三個蘋果就值兩分錢，兩個蘋果就值一分錢，而一個蘋果就不值錢。我只要一個蘋果，要是一個蘋果不值錢，那我就不用給你錢了。”
比爾挑出一個漂亮的蘋果，張口就咬，然后高高興興地走出店去。那人目瞪口呆地瞧著這小男孩，一句話也說不出來。
