A young boy arrives at a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the most foolish kid in the world. Watch while I prove (证明)it to you.”
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two cents in the other, then calls the boy over and asks，“Which do you want，son?”The boy takes the cents and leaves.
