Visual Training | 视力训练

点击查看中英对照

The squad was having "visual training". One smart recruit was asked by the officer to count how many men composed a digging party in a distant field. The party was so far away that the men appeared as mere dots, but unhesitatingly the recruit replied:

"Sixteen men and a sergeant, sir."

"Right, but how do you know there's a sergeant there?"

"He's not doing any digging, sir."
