There were once two people travelling on a train, a scientist and a poet, who were riding in the same compartment (车厢). There wasn’t much conversation between the two.

The poet was looking out the window at the beauty of the passing land. The scientist was trying to think of things he didn’t know. Finally, the scientist was so bored that he said to the poet, “Hey, do you want to play a game?” The poet ignored him and continued looking out the window. The scientist asked again, “Hey, you, do you want to play a game? I’ll ask you a question, and if you get it wrong, you give me $5. Then, you ask me a question, and if I can’t answer it, I’ll give you $5.”

The poet decided against it, seeing that the scientist was obviously a very bright man. He politely turned down the scientist’s offer. The scientist tried a final time. “Look, I’ll ask you a question, and if you can’t answer it, you give me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I can’t answer it, I’ll give you $50!” Now, the poet accepted the offer. “Okay,” the scientist said, “what is the exact distance between the Earth and the Moon?”

The poet did not know the answer. He took a $5 note out and handed it to the scientist. The scientist accepted the note and said, “Now it’s your turn.”

The poet asked, “What goes up a mountain on three legs, but comes down on four?” The bright glow quickly disappeared from the scientist’s face. After about an hour, the scientist gave up. He handed the poet a $50 note. The poet accepted it, turning back to the window.

“Wait!” the scientist shouted. “What’s the answer?” The poet looked at the scientist and calmly put another $5 note into his hand.

The sights of spring

MIRROR LAKE, YOSEMITE, CALIFORNIA

As the snow melts from the mountains of Yosemite National Park every March, the valley between the mountains swells with water.

Mirror Lake has probably been around for centuries, but don’t wait forever to go and see it. It’s rapidly filling with mud these days, and may disappear within many people’s lifetimes.

BLACK SUN, SOUTHERN JUTLAND, DENMARK
