Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) lived very simply. He often wore an old hat when he went out.
Once, someone on the street laughed at him, "What's that on your head? Can it be called a hat?"
Andersen replied, "What's that under your hat? Can it be called a head?"
汉斯·克里斯蒂安·安徒生（1805-1875）生活非常简朴。他外出时经常戴着一顶旧帽子。
一次，街上有个人嘲笑他：“你脑袋上戴的是什么？那也能叫帽子吗？”
安徒生回敬道：“那你帽子下边的是什么？那也能叫脑袋吗？”
