ANOTHER HARD QUESTION2000字作文
Now I have already told you a story about an old man that thought he knew everything, and had been asked a hard question to answer by the king’s professor; and had been crowned king. Well in this story, I am going to tell you how the old man got back to thinking he knew everything, and was asked another hard question by the king’s professor.
It all happened that one day, when the professor was feeling sick, the old man happened to be on the stage. Now he had a throne too, but not as fancy as the professor’s. And so he decided to sit on it. When other people are standing in line to ask for questions, the old man said, “The professor has quit, and so I shall rule this stage and this kingdom!”
All the people gave him a slow clap, and at last began to ask questions. Two more days passed and the professor got better, and walked to the stage. But he found that on his throne was the old man. “Ah! Professor!” shouted the old man in an angry tune, “You quit! I heard you say that a week ago!” “I said that I was going to quit about two days because I was sick,” explained the professor smiling.
“I think I should be king rather than you!” shouted the old man, “Fine! I shall ask you a hard question, if you could answer it; then you ask me one. But if not, the guards shall make you my breakfast, next month!” “Deal,” said the professor, still smiling. And so the hard question contest began.
First the old man asked, “What’s the answer of 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1?” “That’s easy,” said the professor, and he wrote it on a paper. When he is finished, he handed the paper over to the old man; it said, “If you want to find the answer, you said eight 1. All you have to do is use multiplication to find the answer: 8﹡1.”The old man was astonished, “Your right!” he shouted; “Now you ask me one!” “1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1﹣1﹣1?”“Do you want to know the answer now?” asked the man, “No,” said the man, “I just want to count how many ones did I count?”
