49 Who’s Clever?

A university professor made experiments with several kinds of animals. He
hoped to know which animal was the cleverest. He found out it was the monkey.
In one experiment the professor put a monkey in a room with several small
boxes. Some boxes were inside other boxes. One small box had some food inside
it. The professor wanted to watch the monkey and find out how long it would
take the monkey to find the food.

The professor left the room. He waited a few minutes outside the door. Then he
kneeled down and put his eye to the keyhole. What did he see? To his surprise
he found himself looking directly into the eyes of the monkey. The monkey was
on the other side of the door, looking at the professor through the keyhole.

誰更聰明？
一位大學教授用好幾種動物做實驗。他希望知道哪種動物最聰明。他發現最聰明的是猴子。
在一次實驗中，教授把一只猴子和幾個小盒子放在一個房間里。一些盒子套在另一些盒子里。一個小盒子里有食物。教授想觀察猴子，看它需花多長時間才能找到食物。
教授離開房間，在門外等了幾分鐘，然后跪下來把一只眼睛對準鎖眼。他看到了什么？他驚奇地發現，自己正好看到猴子的眼睛。猴子在門的另一面，正從鎖眼里看教授呢.
