The Ability of the kangaroo
The zoo built a special eight-foot-high enclosure （围墙） for its newly acquired kangaroo （袋鼠） , but the next morning the animal was found hopping around outside. The height of the fence was increased to 15 feet, but the kangaroo got out again. Exasperated （恼火的） , the zoo director had the height increased to 30 feet, but the kangaroo still escaped. A giraffe asked the kangaroo, “ How high do you think they'll build the fence?”
“ I don't know, ” said the kangaroo. “ Maybe a thousand feet if they keep leaving the gate unlocked.” |
