It was a market day (集市日) . A man stood behind his table and was selling nuts. He had many bags of nuts. Suddenly the man remembered something. “Today I must go to town. But who will sell these nuts for me?”
“Peter, ” he turned to a boy and said, “will you help me sell these nuts?”“Yes, I' m glad to, ” answered the boy. “But for the first hour I want to get one nut. ”
“Only one? This isn't much!”
“And for the second hour the double of it, that is two nuts. ”
“Just two? This isn't much, either. And for the third hour?”
“Again the double, four nuts. And for every further hour you have to pay me twice the nuts for the preceding (在前的) hour. ”
“This isn't much! ” said the man. “I will be back in five hours. Or maybe I' ll have to stay in town a bit longer. Now sit here with my nuts! ”
The man went away. Five hours passed and still the man wasn't back. Soon it was getting dark. The boy didn't leave. He sat at the market for exactly 24 hours.
The next morning the man came back. He said to Peter, “Give me your pocket! I' ll give you the nuts! ”“Into my pocket?” the boy laughed and then said, “The pocket is too small. You must give me a cartload (一車所載的量) of nuts . All these bags belong to (屬于) me now. ” “What?”shouted the man. “You must be mad (瘋的) . ” But the boy was right. Do you know why?
