One day, Mike's mother needed a pot. She asked Mike to borrow one from her friend. So Mike went to the friend's house. She gave him a big pot. On the way home Mike put it down on the road and looked at it. It was made of clay and had three legs.

Then he said to the pot, "You have three legs and I have only two. You can carry me for a few minutes." Then Mike sat down inside the pot. But the pot didn't move.

Mike got angry and broke it then carried the broke pot home. His mother was angry. "You are stupid." She said. But Mike thought, "I'm not stupid. Only a stupid person carried something with three legs."

一天，迈克的妈妈需要一口锅，她让迈克向她朋友借一口锅。于是，迈克去了她的朋友家，她的朋友借个他一口大锅。在回家的路上，迈克把锅放在路上看了看它，它是一口粘土制成的三条腿的锅。

然后他对锅说："你有三条腿而我只有两条腿。 你应该背我一会儿。"然后，迈克坐在锅里，但是锅一动也不动。

迈克很生气地把锅打破了，但后拿着破锅向家里走去。到家后他的妈妈很生气地说："你真笨。"但迈克认为："我不笨，只有愚蠢的人才会带回三条腿的锅。"
