Edison's story One snowy night, Edison's mother suddenly fell ill, and his father hurried to call a doctor. The doctor said, "Your mother has acute appendicitis and needs surgery." . At that time, there were only oil lamps without electric lights, and the light of oil lamps was very dim, so if you were not careful, you would open the wrong knife. Edison suddenly had a good idea. He took out all the oil lamps at home and put a mirror behind him to let the doctor finish the operation smoothly. The doctor said, "Son, you saved your mother with your wisdom and cleverness." Edison took his mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want to be the sun at night." Hugo, a great writer who sells pens, once traveled abroad to the border. The gendarme wanted to check the registration and asked him, "Name?" "Hugo." "What do you do?" "writing." "What do you do?" "pen." So the gendarmerie wrote in the register: "Name: Hugo; Occupation: selling pens. " Magpie patties Once, the British satirist jonathan swift went on a trip and stayed in an inn. The hostess who recognized him was bent on pleasing the celebrity. He went up to him and asked him enthusiastically what he wanted for dinner: "Would you like some pulp pie? Or gooseberry pie? Or plum pie, grape pie, cherry pie ... ""Except the magpie is called Zhazha, madam. " Swift interrupted her. When the Pope's ambassador went to France, the future Pope Pope John XXIII (188 1- 1963) was also invited to France for a feast. At the party, a lady who wore too many topless clothes happened to be Pope John XXIII's neighbor. He just pretended not to pay attention to the lady's dress. When dessert came, he picked a red apple and handed it to the lady, but she politely refused. "Please have a taste, madam." He advised, "Eve didn't know she was naked until she ate the forbidden fruit."
