老虎拼图

2023年9月10日
一天早上,这位金发女郎打电话给她的朋友,说:“请过来帮帮我。我有一个杀手级的拼图玩具。但我不知道从何处开始。”
她的朋友问:“那是什么样的拼图?”
金发女郎说:“从盒子上的图片来看,是一只老虎。”
金发女郎的朋友认为他很擅长玩这种智力游戏。所以,就去了她家。
她让他进了门,并给他看她已经弄散的,撒了一桌子的拼图碎片。
他审视了一会儿那些碎片,又端详了一下盒子上的图案。
然后,他转身跟她说:“首先,无论我怎么做,都无法告诉你如何将这些碎片拼装成盒子上那只老虎的图片。”
“第二,我建议你放松一下,喝杯咖啡。然后,把所有这些糖霜麦片放回盒子里去。”
注:包装盒上有老虎画像的糖霜麦片是“家乐氏(Kelloggs)”公司的一款早餐麦片。用玉米做成。
原文:Tiger Puzzle
One morning this blonde calls her friend and says:“Please come over and help me。I have this killer jigsaw puzzle,and I can't figure out how to start it。”
Her friend asks:“What is it a puzzle of?”
The blonde says:“From the picture on the box,it's a tiger。”
The blonde's friend figures that he's pretty good at puzzles,so he heads over to her place。
She lets him in the door and shows him to where she has the puzzle spread all over the table。
He studies the pieces for a moment,then studies the box。
He then turns to her and says:“First,no matter what I do,I'm not going to be able to show you how to assemble these to look like the picture of that tiger。”
“Second,I'd advise you to relax,have a cup of coffee,and put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box。”
