Zhang Sheng confessed that when he left home this morning, his father put the cicada in his hat, saying that the cicada was the first to sing in the head. Just now, the cicada crawled and made his head itch, so he scratched it a few times, and the cicada cried out.

The donation class replied: "There is no strong wind, and there is less dust." Q: "How are the people?" Answer: "There are only two white apricots, but there are quite a few red apricots."

When donating a class answered irrelevant questions, the boss became angry and shouted, "Bastard, I asked Li Shu." Trembling with fear, the class donor quickly replied, "There are many pear trees, but only few fruits." The boss laughed and cried, patting the table, "I didn't ask you about pears and apricots, I asked you about Wang!" "

5. It is said that a guest stayed in an inn, and a hundred taels of silver disappeared. He lived in a single room, and according to various indications, it was determined that the shopkeeper had stolen it. So he went to the county yamen to complain, but the shopkeeper refused to admit it.

The county magistrate of this county is very smart. After thinking for a moment, he quietly asked the shopkeeper to reach out and write a word "win" on his palm with a pen, and said, "Go down the steps to bask in the sun. If the word remains for a long time, you will win the lawsuit."

Then, the county magistrate asked someone to bring the proprietress, who was puzzled when she saw her husband reaching out to bask in the sun under the steps. The county magistrate said to the proprietress, "Your husband has admitted that he stole the silver and asked your teacher to hand it over." Hearing this, the proprietress hesitated and was afraid to ask her husband.

At this moment, the county magistrate suddenly shouted to the boss at the foot of the steps, "What's in your hand? Win? Is the word still there? " The boss repeatedly replied: "Yes! Yes! " Because the word "win" is close to the word "silver", the wife of shop-owner with a guilty conscience didn't hear it clearly. She thought her husband had really admitted that "silver" was still there, so she had to hand over the guest's hundred taels of silver.
