This happened about one thousand and seven hundred years ago.One day somebody sent Cao Cao,the king of Wei an elephant.Cao Cao wanted to know its weight(重量).“Who can think of a way to weigh it?”he asked.But nobody knew what to do.because there was nothing big enough to weigh it.

Then Cao Chong,one of the king’s young sons,came up and said,“Father,I’ve got an idea.Let me have a big boat and a lot of heavy stones,and I’ll be able to find out the weight of the elephant.’’

Cao Cao was surprised,but he told his men to do as the boy asked.When the boat was ready,the boy told a man to lead the elephant down into it.The elephant was very heavy,and the water came up very high along the boat’s side.Cao Chong made a mark along the water line.

After that the man drove the elephant onto the bank.Cao Chong then told the men to put heavy stones into the boat until the water again came up to the line.

Peter’s uncle lives in the country. Once in summer, Peter goes to stay with him for a few weeks. Whenever they go for a walk or for a drive in the car and pass somebody, his uncle waves to the passer-by. Peter is surprised and says, “Uncle George, you seem to know everybody here. Where did you meet them all?”

“I don’t know all these people,” answers his uncle. “Then why do you wave to them?” “Well, Peter,” says his uncle, “when I wave to someone who knows me, he is pleased. He goes on his journey with a happier heart. But when I wave to someone who doesn’t know me, he is surprised and says to himself, ‘Who is that man? Why did he wave to me?’ So he has something to think about during the rest of his journey, and that makes his journey seem shorter. So I make everybody happy.”
