Question

【题目】 Once there was a relative who offered a man and his three sons two baskets of peaches(桃子). One basket of peaches were just ripe(成熟) while the other were already overripe and would go bad at once.

The father asked, “Which way of eating can avoid wasting a peach?”

The eldest son said, “Of course, we should eat those overripe, for they can’t be kept for three days.”

“But after you eat up those, the peaches in the other basket will go bad!”Certainly, the father was not satisfied with the eldest son’s advice.

The second son thought for a while and said “We should eat the peaches just ripe. Choose the good ones!”

“If so, won't the overripe peaches be wasted? Don’t you think it pity?” The father turned to the youngest son, “What good idea do you have?”

“I feel,” thinking for a while, the youngest son said, “we’d better mix them together, give some of them to the neighbors, and let them help us eat, so that we won’t waste a peach at all.”

Hearing this, the father nodded and said with a smile, “OK. It is really a good way. Then let’s do it by your way.”
