Adding Feet to a Drawn Snake

    A group of people staked a globlet of wine on drawing a snake on the ground. The one whoever finished the drawning first would win the globet of wine.Then,one of them came out first and complacently took up the globet,ready to drink.Seeing nobody around him had finished yet,he held the wine in his left hand and said:"Oh,there is still time for me to add some feet to the snake."So saying,he used the other hand to do it.But before he could finish the feet,another man completed his snake.He immediately seized the vessel and cried:"A snake is born without feet.How can you add feet to it?"With these words,he gulped down the wine.


      几个人以一壶酒为赌注,规定谁先画出一条蛇,谁就能得到这壶酒。其中一个人最先画成,
他伸手取过酒壶,正要把酒喝掉的时候,四处一看别人还没画完,他便左手持壶,右手继
续画着说:“我还能再给这条蛇添上几条脚呢!”蛇脚还没画完,另一个人已经画好了蛇
的人从他手里夺过酒壶,边喝边说:“蛇本来是就没有脚的,你怎么能给他添上脚呢?”
