  Rumor travels fast

  One day, a man named Mao Kong said to Ai Zi: A duck laid one hundred eggs at one time.

  Ai Zi didn’t believe him. Mao Kong added: Maybe there were two ducks.

  Ai Zi still didn’t believe him. Mao Kong went on saying: Maybe there were three ducks.

  And so he repeatedly changed his words until he increased the number of the ducks to ten. Once again, Ai Zi didn’t believe him.

  After a while, Mao Kong told Ai Zi another thing: Last month, a piece of meat which is thirty meters wide and twenty meters long fell down from the sky. Ai Zi didn’t believe it. Mao Kong changed his words again: That’s a twenty-meter-wide and ten-meter-long meat. Ai Zi still didn’t believe him.

  Finally, Ai Zi asked Mao Kong: Whose duck is it? And where is the meat?

  Mao Kong said: I heard all of them from others.

  Then Ai Zi told his students: It’s a bad habit of spreading rumors like Mao Kong.

  故事梗概:

  一天,一个叫毛空的人对艾子说:“一只鸭子一次生了一百个蛋。”

  艾子不相信。毛空又说:“那可能是两只鸭子生的吧。”

  艾子还是不相信。毛空就说:“那可能是三只鸭子生的”。

  就这样,毛空一再改口。最后一直增加到10只鸭子。艾子还是不相信。

  过了一会儿,毛空又对艾子说:“上个月,一块30米宽,20米长的肉从天上掉了下来。”艾子不信,毛空又改口说:“是20米宽,10米长”。艾子依然不信。

  最后艾子问毛空:你说的鸭子是谁家的?肉掉到了什么地方?

  毛空说:“那些都是在路上听别人说的。”

  于是,艾子对他的学生说:“你们可不能像毛空那样道听途说。”

  难点点拨:

  1. laid:(lay的过去式)下蛋

  2. add: 补充说

  3. repeatedly:反复地

  4. increase: 增加

  5. spread rumor: 散播谣言
