聪明clever[英]['klevə(r)] [美][ˈklɛvɚ] 中英文小故事：谁最聪明 从前有一个人，他有三个儿子。他决定让其中最聪明的儿子继承他的财产。他给三个儿子每人一个硬币，让他们去买能够堆满房子里空间的东西。 “这房子太大了。”老大说。 “一枚硬币买不了什么东西啊。”老二说。 老三什么也没说，想了一会儿，笑了笑说：“走，哥哥，我们去市场吧。” 老大买回的是稻草，但是用一枚硬币只能买一点儿。尽管他尽其所能，铺开的稻草也只能盖住房子的一角。 老二买的是沙子，但也只能买到一点儿。他使尽浑身解数，铺开的沙子也只能盖住半个地面。 “你买了什么？ ”两个哥哥气呼呼地问老三，“你没买稻草和沙子啊。” “我买了这个。”老三说。 “一根蜡烛！ ”他俩叫道，“买根蜡烛有啥用？” “你们瞧！”他说。 他点上蜡烛。顿时，整个房子从一面墙到另一面墙，从房顶到地面，上上下下都被装满了。是用光装满的！ “虽然你年纪最小，但确实是最聪明的！”老商人说道。 最终小儿子得到了全部财产。 Which One Is the Cleverest?
