Four girls were at the same school. They were good
friends, so they often studied and played together. They went to school every
day by taxi.
One day one of the girls said, “There is a test this
morning. Let’s go to school late. Then we won’t have to take the test.” “What
can we tell the teacher?” One of the girls said. “He’ll be angry. We’ll need a
good excuse.”
The girls thought for several moments, then one of
them said, “Let’s tell him that our taxi had a flat tire(爆胎).” “That’s a good idea,” the other girls said. “We’ll
tell him that.”
They arrived at school an hour later. The test was
finished.
“Why are you late?” the teacher asked. “You miss the
test.” “Our taxi had a flat tire,” one of the girls said.
The teacher thought for a moment, then he said, “Sit
down, one of you in each corner of the room.” The four girls did this. Then the
teacher said, “Write the answer to this question on a piece of paper: Which
tire was flat?”
