I have already made an evil wish to eat the person who rescued me!" The young man was taken aback, but immediately said calmly: "Oh, such a small one. How can the bottle contain you? You must be lying. Go back to the bottle and show it to me!"

"Hahahaha, I won't be fooled! Arabian Nights has long told this ancient story The story has been told. If I get into the bottle again and you plug the stopper again, wouldn't the story be over? ""What? Have you ever read Arabian Nights? You are such a learned and talented person! Have you read the philosophical works of Socrates? ""Haha! For the past five hundred years, I have been hiding in a bottle, reading all the classics in the world, and practicing hard, not to mention the great works of the West, the universities of the East, and the Doctrine of the Mean. , The Analects of Confucius, and Mencius are all familiar to me."

7. A scholar came to Beijing for the third time to take the exam and stayed in a store where he often stayed. Two days before the exam, he had three dreams. The first dream was about growing cabbage on the wall. The second dream was about a rainy day. He wore a bamboo hat and held an umbrella. The third dream was about having sex with his beloved. The cousins ??took off their clothes and lay together, but back to back.

These three dreams seemed to have some profound meaning, so the scholar hurriedly went to find a fortune teller to interpret the dreams the next day. When the fortune teller heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "You'd better go home. Think about it, isn't it a waste of effort to grow vegetables on the high wall? Isn't it unnecessary to wear a hat and hold an umbrella? I stripped naked and lay on the same bed with my cousin. , but back to back, isn’t there no chance?”

When the scholar heard this, he was disheartened and went back to the store to pack his bags and prepare to go home. The shop owner was very strange and asked: "Isn't it the exam tomorrow? Why did you go back to your hometown today?" After the scholar said this, the shop owner was happy: "Oh, I can also interpret dreams. I think, You must stay this time. Think about it, isn’t it good to grow vegetables on the wall? Doesn’t wearing a bamboo hat and holding an umbrella mean that you are prepared for anything this time? Doesn’t it mean that you are ready for anything if you take off your clothes and lie back to back on the bed? Is the time coming?"

You go first." Save others."

Soon after, the flood had reached the priest's chest, and the priest had to stand on the altar. At this time, another policeman drove over in a speedboat and said to the priest: "Father, come up quickly, otherwise you will really drown!" The priest said: "No, I want to guard my church. I believe God will He will come to save me. You'd better save others first."

Flood Rolling forward, the stubborn priest was finally drowned... The priest went to heaven. After seeing God, he asked angrily: "Lord, I have devoted myself to you all my life and served you tremblingly. Why don't you save me?" God said: "Why didn't I save you? The first time, I sent a sampan to save you, but you didn't want it. I thought you were worried about the danger of the sampan; the second time, I sent a speedboat, but you still didn't want it. ;The second time, I treated you like a state guest and sent a helicopter to rescue you, but you still refused to accept it. So, I thought you were anxious to come back to me, so you could spend time with me. . ”

11. One night, it was already very late. An elderly couple walked into a hotel and asked for a room. The front desk clerk replied: "Sorry, our hotel is full and there are no rooms left. "Looking at the tired expressions of the old couple, the waiter added: "But let me think of a way..."

At this point in the narrative, do you want a mathematical continuation below, or are you willing to get one? The end of literature? But anyway, mathematics and literature will part ways here.

The story of mathematics goes like this: The kind waiter started to solve the room problem for the old couple: he woke up. For the guests who have already slept in the hotel, ask them to change places: the guests in Room 1 will be moved to Room 2, the guests in Room 2 will be moved to Room 3... and so on, until each guest has moved from his own room. The room was moved to the next room. At this time, a miracle happened: Room 1 was vacant. The waiter happily arranged for the elderly couple to move in without adding more rooms or reducing the number of guests. The rooms are full of guests - but just by asking each guest to move to the next room, the first room becomes vacant. Why is this? / It turns out that the two old people entered the famous mathematical room. Hilbert's Hotel - It was considered a hotel with countless rooms. This story was told by the great mathematician David Hilbert, who introduced the concept of "infinity" in mathematics. This concept is so important to this discipline that it is difficult to imagine how mathematics would exist without it.

Anyone who can count knows that every integer has a successor to infinity (so in the Hilbert Hotel, behind every room there will be a successor to infinity)... Mathematics is the science of infinity.

Okay, let's go back to the place where the waiter said "Let me think of a solution". The story of literature continues like this. This literary waiter should be more humane and caring. Of course, he couldn't bear to let the old couple go out and find another accommodation late at night. And in such a small town, I'm afraid other hotels have already been fully booked and closed. Wouldn't these exhausted old people live on the streets late at night? So the kind waiter led the old couple to a room and said, "Maybe it's not the best, but now I can only do this." When the old man saw that there was actually a neat and clean room in front of him, he happily Lived.

The next day, when they came to the front desk to check out, the waiter said to them: "No, because I just lent you my room for one night - I wish you a good journey." Happy!" That's it. The waiter himself didn't sleep all night, so he worked an all-night shift at the front desk. The two old men were very moved. The old man said: "Son, you are the best hotelier I have ever seen. You will be rewarded." The waiter smiled and said it was nothing. He sent the old man out, turned around and went about his own business, forgetting all about it. Unexpectedly, one day, the waiter received a letter, opened it, and found a one-way ticket to New York with a brief postscript, hiring him to do another job. He took a plane to New York and followed the route marked in the letter to a place. When he looked up, he saw a magnificent hotel standing in front of him. It turned out that late at night a few months ago, he received a billionaire and his wife. The rich man bought a big hotel for the waiter and firmly believed that he could run and manage the hotel well. This is the legendary story of the first manager of the world-famous Hilton Hotel.

Everything starts from the wise mind of a sympathetic and loving waiter: "Let me think of a solution..." Entering the field of mathematics, what is needed must be strict logic and reasonableness. Inference and precise verification; coming to the world of literature relies on beautiful human nature, touching plots and unexpected and happy endings. But did you find out: whether it is literature or mathematics, the ending is very magical - love plus wisdom can produce miracles.

12. There is a pair of brothers who live on the 80th floor. One day they came home from a trip and found that the building had a power outage!

The brothers arrived at the door of their house excitedly, only to find that their keys were left in the bag on the 20th floor...

Some people say that this story actually reflects our lives: before the age of 20, we live Under the expectations of my family and teachers, I am burdened with a lot of pressure and baggage. I am not mature enough and have insufficient abilities, so my steps are inevitably unsteady. After the age of 20, I left the pressure of everyone, took off my burden, and began to pursue my dreams with all my strength. I spent 20 years happily like this. But at the age of 40, I found that my youth was gone, and I inevitably had a lot of regrets and remorse, so I started to regret this, regret that, complain about this, hate that...

So he spent the rest of his years in silence.

At the end of my life, I remembered that I seemed to have something unfinished... It turns out that all our dreams were left in the youthful years of 20 years old, and we had not had time to complete...
