English Original
Once upon a time, a man passing by a river saw a grown man about to throw a child he was carrying into the water.
The child was terrified, crying and screaming in panic.
The passerby asked, "Why are you throwing this child into the river? Aren't you afraid he will drown?"
The man replied, "It's fine. His father is an excellent swimmer."
The passerby then asked, "His father can swim, but does that mean his son can swim without any practice?"

从前，有个人路过江边，看见一个成年男子正要把怀里抱着的小孩投进江里。
小孩惊恐万分，吓得哇哇大哭，尖叫不止。
过路人问道：“你为何要把这孩子扔进江里？难道不怕他淹死吗？”
那男子回答：“不要紧。他父亲是个游泳能手。”
过路人于是问道：“父亲会游泳，难道就意味着他儿子不用练习也会游泳吗？”
