那人目瞪口呆地瞧着这小男孩
Bill is a good student and an intelligent boy. He likes to study arithmetic, and he can do all of the arithmetic problems in his book easily.
One day on his way to school, Bill passed a fruit store. There was a sign in the window which said, "Apple-Six for five cents." An idea came to Bill and he went into the store.
"How much are the apples?" he asked the store.
"Six for five cents."
"But I don't want six apples."
"How many apples do you want?"
"It is not a question of how many apples I want. It is a problem in arithmetic."
"What do you mean by a problem in arithmetic?" asked the man.
"Well, if six apples are wroth five cents, then five apples are worth four cents, four apples are worth three cents, three apples are worth two cents, two apples are worth one cent and one apple is worth nothing. I only want one apple, and if one apple is worth nothing then it is not necessary for me to pay you."
Bill picked out a good apple, began to eat it, and walked happily out of the store. The man looked at the young boy with such surprise that he could not say a word.
比尔是个聪明的男孩，也是个好学生。他喜欢学数学，可以轻松做出他书上的所有数学题。
有天在上学路上，比尔经过一家水果店，橱窗里有块标牌上写着：“苹果－－六个五分钱。”比尔冒出个想法，走进店去。
“苹果多少钱？”他问店里。
“六个五分钱。”
“可我不想要六个。”
“你想要几个？”
“这不是我想要几个的问题，这是个数学问题。”
“数学问题，你什么意思啊？”那人问。
“你看，要是六个苹果值五分钱，那五个苹果就值四分钱，四个苹果就值三分钱，三个苹果就值两分钱，两个苹果就值一分钱，而一个苹果就不值钱。我只要一个苹果，要是一个苹果不值钱，那我就不用给你钱了。”
比尔挑出一个漂亮的苹果，张口就咬，然后高高兴兴地走出店去。那人目瞪口呆地瞧着这小男孩，一句话也说不出来。
