One day, Mr. Smith took a plastic(塑料的)apple to class. He stood in front of the classroom and said, "Please smell the smell(闻气味)in the air!”

One student put up his hand and answered, "I have smelled it. It is the smell of an apple."

Mr. Smith walked to the students, passed by each of them and said, "Please smell again to see if the smell of the apple is still in the air."

Half of the students put up their hands to show that they could smell it. Mr. Smith returned to the front of the classroom and asked again if the students could smell the apple. Everyone said yes but one student, Henry. Mr. Smith went to him and asked," You really can't smell the apple?"

Henry answered,“No, I can't smell it. I don't think it's a real(真的)apple."

Mr. Smith smiled and said to the class, "He is right! This is not a real apple. It doesn't have any smell."

All of the other students were surprised. Some of them might have thought that the apple was not real, but they didn't have the confidence(自信)to speak up. They just "followed the leader" and went along with the first student.
