Peter has a cousin. His name is Bob.Bob is a clever boy.However,Peter is not as clever as Bob. So Bob often laughs at Peter.One day Bob came to Peter's house to play.
Bob has a candy in his left hand and two in his right. Bob asked Peter ："Peter, do you want the candy in my left hand or the candy in my right hand? "
Peter thought it over and said to Bob："I want that candy in your left hand. "
Bob said："I have only one candy in my left hand, but two in my right hand. Why do you choose the less one? "
Peter said："I just want the less side. "
Bob said："Aha!What a stupid child you are! "
Then Peter's other good friends also came to Peter's house to play.
Bob said to Peter's friends："Peter is a stupid child. When I asked him which side of the sugar he would choose, he always said he would choose the less side. "
Peter's friends also laughed at Peter as a very stupid child.
They took out the sugar and asked Peter whether to choose the less side or the more side.
Peter, without exception, chose the less side.
After the incident, Peter's mother asked Peter："Honey, why do you always choose the less side, not the more side? You always choose the less side, and your friends and Bob will laugh at you. "
Peter said："Mom, do you think if I had chosen the more side from the beginning, then my friends and Bob would not have asked me this question again, and I would have gotten only part of the sugar, if I had always chosen the less side from the beginning. Then they will keep asking me this question, and then I can get more sugar. "
