English Original
Professor Tom was to meet his students the next day, so he wrote on the blackboard: "Professor Tom will meet the class tomorrow."
A student, seeing a chance to display his humor, walked up and erased the "c" in "class." Noticing the laughter, Professor Tom turned around, walked back, looked at the student and then at the altered notice. Calmly, he walked up, erased the "l" in "lass," glanced at the flabbergasted student, and proceeded on his way.

汤姆教授次日要与学生见面，于是在黑板上写道：“汤姆教授明天将和大家见面。”
一名学生觉得展示幽默感的机会来了，便走上前，擦掉了“class”中的字母“c”，使句子意思变为“汤姆教授明天将和情人见面”。教授听到笑声，转过身走回来，看了看那位学生，又看了看被改动过的通知。他不动声色地走上前，擦掉了“lass”中的字母“l”，使意思变为“汤姆教授明天将和蠢驴见面”。他瞥了一眼目瞪口呆的学生，然后扬长而去。
