有这样一个故事:一个老人住在僻静的房子里安度晚年,可是一天下午,一群孩子的敲桶、打闹声改变了这里原本的安静环境,一连几天都是这样,老人为此很烦恼。后来,她终于想出了一个办法,于是便告知孩子们自己很寂寞、无聊,希望每天都能听到他们敲桶、打闹的声音,为此会付给孩子们一些小费,孩子们快乐地答应了。开始几天他们敲得很起劲,也拿到了自己应得的小费;过了几天,老人告诉孩子们,自己生活遇到了些困难,小费要少给一些, 尽管这样孩子们还是按时敲桶;又过了几天,老人告诉孩子们小费还要少给一些,于是,孩子们渐渐厌倦了敲桶,所以敲桶的孩子也少了;再后来,老人告诉孩子们没有能力付给他们小费了,最后竟然没有一个孩子来敲桶了。这样,老人的目的也就达到了。 There is such a story: An old man lives in a secluded house and retires in his later years. But one afternoon, a group of children knocked on drums and slapsticks changed the original quiet environment here. This was the case for a few days, and the elderly were troubled by this . Later, she finally came up with a solution, so she told her children that she was lonely and boring and hoped every day to hear their knocking drums and slapstick sounds, and for that she would give the children some tips and the children happily accepted. After a few days, the elderly told the children that they had some difficulties in their own lives and that tips were given less, though the children still knocked on barrels on time. A few days later, the elderly told the children to give less tips, so the children became tired of knocking on the barrel, so there were fewer children who knocked on the barrel. Later, the elderly told the children they could not afford to tip them In the end there was not even a child to knock on the barrel. In this way, the purpose of the elderly has also reached.
