有一個小女孩，上作文課時，題目是:"一個貧窮的家庭"，小女孩面露愁容，老師說:"不會很難啊，你就想想看，如果大家都很窮，是怎樣的情況？就好了"

小女孩，茅塞頓開，振筆疾書，寫著:"從前有一個小女孩，他們家很窮，他們家的管家也很窮，他們家的司機也很窮，他們家的園丁也很窮，他們家的廚師也很窮，他們家的長工也很窮，他們家的保母也很窮，他們家的外籍勞工也很窮，他們家的菲傭也很窮，他們家的駕駛員，塔台管理員，碼頭工人，遊艇駕駛員也很窮，總之，大家都很窮。"

她就這樣，寫完了這篇作文。

Suddenly, the girl understood and swiftly began to write:

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl. Her family was very poor. Their butler was also very poor, as were their chauffeur, their gardener, their cook, their laborer, their nanny, their foreign helper, their maid, their driver, their air traffic controller, their dock worker, and their yacht captain.

ある小さな少女が作文の授業を受けていました。その日の題は「貧しい家庭」。少女は困惑した表情を見せました。すると先生が、「難しく考えなくてもいいんだよ。みんなが貧しかったら、どんな状況になるか想像してみてごらん」と言いました。

少女は突然悟り、すぐに筆を走らせ始めました。

「昔々、あるところに小さな少女がいました。彼女の家はとても貧しく、家の執事も貧しく、運転手も貧しく、庭師も貧しく、料理人も貧しく、使用人も貧しく、乳母も貧しく、外国人のメイドも貧しく、そして、家の運転手、管制官、港湾労働者、ヨットの操縦士も皆貧しかったのです。つまり、みんなが貧しかったのです。」

こうして、彼女は作文を完成させました。
