盲人買壇

郭倩

當(dāng)上帝為你關(guān)上一扇窗時，一定會為你再開一扇窗。盲人雖然眼睛看不見了，但他們會用敏銳的觸覺幫助自己，以免自己受到欺負(fù)！

1.At a scorching hot summer noon， a peddler was shouting in an open-air market， “Jars for sale. White and black ones.”

在一個夏日炎炎的中午，一位露天擺攤的小商販大聲吆喝著：“賣壇子咯，有黑白兩種。”

2.A blind man came over and asked the colors and price. The peddler told him： “2 yuan for the 6 white ones and the 3 yuan for the 3 black ones.”

一個盲人走過來問壇子的顏色和價錢。小商販說：“六個白的每個兩元錢，三個黑的每個三元錢。”

3.The blind man paid 3 yuan to the peddler and wanted to buy a black jar. The sly peddler gave the blind man a white jar.

盲人掏出三元錢付給小商販，他要買個黑色壇子。奸詐的商販把一個白色壇子遞給盲人。

4.The blind man took it and blinked his dull eyes. He felt the jar in his hand and the others on the market stall carefully.

盲人接過壇子，眨著他那雙毫無光芒的眼睛，用手仔細(xì)地觸摸了手中的壇子，以及攤檔上的其他壇子。

5.Suddenly， the blind man put it down and pointed at the peddler with his stick，“You are a dishonest salesman！You cheat me！”

哪想盲人放下那只白壇子，用盲棍指著商販罵道：“你是一個不誠實的賣家，你竟騙我！”

6.The peddler knew he was in the wrong， so he had to give him a black one.But he was surprised： How could a blind man tell the difference between white and black？ Little friends， do you know the reason？

商販自知理虧，只得換了一只黑壇子給了盲人。但他很驚奇：一個盲人怎么能辨清黑白？小朋友，你們知道原因嗎？

答案：黑壇比白壇容易吸收太陽的熱。在太陽的照射下，黑壇比白壇溫度高，盲人手摸壇子，因此辨出黑白。
