720　A nickel is bigger than a dime 五分的硬幣比一角的大

There was a little boy named Johnny who used to hang out at the local corner market. The owner didn't know what Johnny's problem was, but the boys would constantly tease him. They would offer Johnny his choice between a nickel and a dime, and Johnny would always take the nickel—they said, because it was bigger. One day after Johnny grabbed the nickel, the store owner took him aside and said “Johnny, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don't know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger, or what?” Slowly, Johnny turned toward the storeowner and a big grin appeared on his face and Johnny said, “Well, if I took the dime, they'd stop doing it, and so far I have saved $20!”

從前有一個小男孩，他的名字叫強尼。他成天在附近的小店里瞎混。小店老板不知道強尼有什么毛病，只是一群男孩總是戲弄他。他們拿一個五分的硬幣和一個一角的硬幣讓強尼選，強尼總是選五分的。他們說這是因為五分的硬幣比一角的大。有一天，強尼又選了五分的硬幣，老板把他叫到一邊，對他說：“強尼，這些男孩在拿你取樂呢。他們認為你不知道一角的硬幣比五分的值錢。你選五分的硬幣真是因為它比一角的大，還是為了別的？”強尼慢慢地把頭轉(zhuǎn)過來，咧嘴笑著對老板說：“嗯，如果我選一角的，他們就不會再讓我選了。到現(xiàn)在為止，我已經(jīng)存了20塊錢了。”
