Once there were two crows (乌鸦)whose opinions(观点) were always opposite.
One day, one of the crows said to the other, “ You should realize, of course, that I can fly much higher than you.”
“ Don’t be ridiculous (荒谬的).” the other crow said. “ Everyone knows that I can fly much higher than you.”
“No, you can’t” the first crow said.
“Yes, I can” the second crow replied, and the argument went on and on.
At last they decided to have a contest to solve the argument.
“ We will compete to find out who can fly higher while carrying a bag” the first crow said.
They argued for some time because of the size of the bag, but at last came to an agreement.
Then there was a further argument about what each bag would be filled with. Finally, they agreed that the first crow would fill his bag with cotton and the second crow would fill his with salt.
The first crow thought he was clever to agree to this, because salt is much heavier than cotton. At last they were ready for the contest. Holding their bag in their mouths, they flew into the sky.
They had not been flying for long. However, when it began to rain- as the second crow had expected it would. Can you guess who could fly higher?

解析

试题分析:从前,有两只乌鸦的意见总是相反。有一天,乌鸦说,“你应该认识到,当然,我能飞比你高很多。”“别傻了。”另一只乌鸦说。“每个人都知道我能飞的比你高得多。”最后,他们决定用一场比赛解决。。最后,他们一致认为,第一乌鸦将填补他的棉袋和第二乌鸦将填补他的盐。第一乌鸦以为他很聪明就同意这一点,因为盐是比棉重得多。最后,他们为比赛做好准备。用他们的嘴握住他们的袋子,他们飞向天空。没多久下雨了。你能猜到谁可以飞得更高?

“No, you can’t” the first crow said.
