1. Why do these men each draw a snake?
2. What do you think of the man who draws the feet for the snake?
Several men have a jar ① of wine ②, but it's not enough for all. Each of them wants to drink it alone. So they make a rule. Everyone has to draw a snake on the ground. The first person to finish drawing will drink the wine. Then they begin to draw on the ground with sticks. One man of them finishes his snake very soon and he is about to drink the wine when he sees the others are still busy with their drawings, so he decides to add feet to his snake.
However, before he finishes, another man takes the jar quickly and says, "I've finished. Who has ever seen a snake with feet?" With these words, he drinks up the wine.
Word banks: ①jar n. 罐子 ②wine n. 酒

答案： 1. Because the wine is not enough for all.
