The Golfer and the Anthill | 高尔夫球手与蚁丘

点击查看中英对照

Once there was a golfer whose ball landed on an anthill.

Rather than move the ball, he decided to hit it where it lay. He gave a mighty swing. Clouds of dirt, sand, and ants exploded from the spot. Everything moved but the golf ball. It remained in the same spot.

So he tried another shot. Clouds of dirt, sand, and ants went flying again. The golf ball didn't even wiggle.

Two ants survived. One dazed ant said to the other, "Whoa! What are we going to do?"

The other ant replied, "I don't know about you, but I'm going to get on the ball."
