A teenager lost a contact lens1 while playing basketball in his driveway.
After a fruitless search, he told his mother the lens was nowhere to be found. Undaunted(勇敢的), she went outside and in a few minutes, returned with the lens in her hand. How did you manage to find it, Mom? the teenager asked. We weren't looking for the same thing, she replied. You were looking for a small piece of plastic. I was looking for $150.
孩子在车库打球时掉了一只隐形眼镜。
找了一会儿,他告诉妈妈找不到了。妈妈出去了,几分钟将来,拿着隐形眼镜回来。母亲,你是如何找到的?孩子问。大家找的不是同一件东西,妈妈回答,你找的是一小片塑料,而我是在找150块钱。
