Two women on a train were arguing. At last one of them called the conductor. She said,
'If this window is open, I'll probably die of cold.' The other woman said, 'But if this window
is closed, I'll die because I will feel difficult in breathing (呼吸).' The conductor didn't know
what to do.
Just at that moment, an old man came up to them. 'Oh, I have a good idea. First open the
window, and that will kill one. Next close it and that will kill the other. Then we can have peace
(和平). What do you think of it?'
