One day an old man is selling(卖) an elephant. A young man comes to the elephant and begins to look at it slowly(慢慢地). The old man goes up to him and says in his ear, “ Don’t say anything about the elephant before I sell it, then I’ll give you some meat.” “All right,” says the young man. After the old man sells the elephant, he gives the young man some meat and says, “ Now, can you tell me how you find the bad ears of the elephant?” “ I didn’ t find the bad ears,” says the young man. “Then why do you look at the elephant slowly?” asks the old man. The young man answers, “Because I never see an elephant before(以前), and I want to know what it looks like.”
