Not long ago, an American old lady who came to China for sightseeing nodded her hand three times among a group of China children, so three children: a girl aged 10, a boy aged 7 and a girl aged 5 stood in front of the American old lady.

The American old lady took out a glass bottle with a big belly and a small mouth. There are three balls in it that can just pass through the bottle mouth alone. Give each ball a silk rope, climb out of the bottle like a green vine, and hold it in the hands of an old American woman. The old American woman smiled slyly and conceited, and said to her master in China, "It is said that China people are the cleverest in the world. Now I want to give it a try. "

Then, she announced the rules of the game: "these three balls represent the three of you, this bottle represents a dry well, and you play in the well." Suddenly, water came out of the dry well and the water level rose rapidly. You must run for your lives. Remember: I count to seven, which means there are only seven seconds. If one of you does not escape, he will be drowned in the well. " She sent three strings to three children in China.

The air suddenly froze, as if death were hovering nearby/the old American lady made a gesture to start. I saw a 5-year-old girl quickly take out her ball from the bottle; Then the seven-year-old boy. He looked at the big girl first, and then quickly took the ball out of the bottle. Finally, 10-year-old girl calmly took out her own ball. The whole time is less than five seconds.

The old American lady was shocked. I didn't expect a thrilling game to end so dull and boring. He first asked the little boy, "Why don't you run for your life?" The little boy pointed to the youngest girl and said, "She is the youngest. I should let her! " "The old American woman asked again," aren't you afraid of being drowned? The girl replied, "You drowned me, but you can't drown your brother and sister." "

Tears welled up in the eyes of the old American lady. She said that she has played this game in many countries, and almost no country's children have finished it so perfectly. They are scrambling to pass each other. ...

Three children tell us that cleverness is not only the development of intelligence, but also a kind of love, selflessness and selflessness.
