English Original
Two hunters chartered a small plane to fly into a forest, arranging for the pilot to return and pick them up in two weeks. When the pilot returned, the hunters had shot many animals and wanted to load them all onto the plane.
The pilot objected, "This plane can't carry more than one buffalo. You'll have to leave the rest behind."
The hunters protested, "But last year, another pilot with the same plane let us take two buffaloes and other animals!"
The new pilot was skeptical but finally relented. "Alright, if you did it last year, I suppose we can do it again." He loaded two buffaloes and some other animals, and the plane took off.
Five minutes later, it crashed nearby. The three men climbed out and looked around. One hunter asked the other, "Where do you think we are?"
The second hunter surveyed the area and replied, "I think we're about a mile to the left of where we crashed last year."

两名猎人包了一架小飞机飞往森林,并安排飞行员两周后返回接他们。当飞行员返回时,猎人们打到了许多动物,并想将它们全部装上飞机。
飞行员反对道:“这架飞机最多只能载一头水牛。你们必须把其他的留下。”
猎人们抗议说:“但是去年,另一个飞行员开同样的飞机,就让我们带了两头水牛和其他动物!”
新飞行员虽然心存疑虑,但最终还是让步了。“好吧,如果你们去年做到了,我想今年也可以。”他装上了两头水牛和一些其他动物,飞机起飞了。
五分钟后,飞机在附近坠毁。三人爬出飞机,环顾四周。一个猎人问另一个:“你觉得我们现在在哪儿?”
第二个猎人打量了一下四周,回答说:“我想我们大概在去年坠机地点左边一英里的地方。”
