Question

 Mr Fred was a clever news reporter. He worked for a good newspaper,and he liked to argue with people very much. He argued with anybody,and about anything. Sometimes he talked with other people,but very often they were not so clever as he was.

He didn’t want to argue with foolish people. He knew he could never make them change their mind,because they could not really understand what he was saying. He found those foolish people were always sure that they were right.

One day,Fred talked with a man. Of course the argument came to nothing. At last,the man said, “Well，sir,you should never forget this： there are always three answers to every question： your answer,my answer,and the right answer.，’

Fred thought what he said was interesting,and from then on he never forgot it.
