An old man is selling a big cow. A young man comes to the cow and begins to look at it carefully. Then the old man goes up to him and says in his ears. “Don’t say anything about the cow before I sell it, then I will give you some meat。”

“All right,” says the young man. After the old man sells the cow, he gives the young man some meat and says, “Now, you can tell me how do you think of the bad leg of the cow。”
“好吧。”年輕男子說道。老人賣掉了奶牛,他給了年輕人一些肉并說道:“現在你能告訴我關于這頭奶牛有條壞腿你是怎么看的?”
“I didn’t find the bad leg,” says the young man. “Then why did you look at the cow carefully?” asks the old man。
“我沒發現壞腿呀。”年輕男子說。“那你為什么仔細地看著這頭牛?”老人問道。
Then young man answers, “Because I have never seen a cow, and I wanted to know what it looks like。”
年輕人回答道:“因為我從未見過奶牛,我只想知道它長得什么樣。”
