　　One day, a man named Ai Zi said to the rich man, "Your sons are so stupid and know nothing about the world. How can they take your property over after your death?"

　　一天，一个名叫艾子对富人说，“你的儿子是如此愚蠢，对世界一无所知。他们怎么能把你的财产在你死后你的?

　　Hearing these words, the rich man became a little bit angry. The father said, "Everyone says my sons are very smart and praises them for their good virtue. What you say is sheer nonsense!"

　　听到这些话，富人变得有一点生气。父亲说，“每个人都说我的儿子很聪明，赞扬他们的美德。你所说的完全是胡说!

　　"Then let"s test them. Ok?" Ai Zi suggested. The rich man agreed.

　　“那我们的测试。好啊。艾子建议。财主同意。

　　The father called his two sons before Ai Zi, who asked the question, "Do you know where rice comes from?"

　　父亲给他的两个儿子在艾子，他问，“你知道饭从何而来?

　　The elder son smiled and answered, "Anyone with sense knows the answer, that rice comes from the kitchen."

　　大儿子笑着回答说，“任何有常识的人都知道答案，那是从厨房来的。

　　The younger son blinked and said, "You"re wrong! How can you say rice comes from the kitchen! It indeed comes from the bag."

　　小儿子眨着眼睛说，“你错了!你怎么能说是从厨房来的!从口袋倒出来的。

　　The rich man looked at his sons and turned red with anger. "You both are so silly! Why don"t you ask me when you don"t know the right answer? You are both wrong! Rice comes neither from the kitchen nor from the bag, it comes from the barn!"

　　丰富的人看着他的儿子气得脸都红了。你是如此的愚蠢!为什么你问我的时候，你就知道正确的答案吗?你们都错了!水稻不是来自厨房也不能从袋，它来自谷仓!
