Norman is 89 years old. He has played golf every day since he left his company over 20 years ago. One day he arrived home upset.
“That’s it,” he told his wife. “I’m giving up golf. My eyesight (视力) is so bad that once I hit the ball I can’t see where the little thing goes. ”
His wife wanted to cheer him up and made him a cup of hot tea. After watching a wonderful golf match, she suddenly thought of her brother who had good eyesight and she said, “Why don’t you take my brother with you and give it a try?”
“That’s a terrible idea,” said Norman, “Your brother is 102 years old. How could he help?” “He may be 102 years old, but his eyesight is good.”
Norman considered he’d give it a try, so the next day he headed for the golf course (球场) with his brother-in-law who looked quite good in health. Norman was very excited and he hit the ball.
He turned to his brother-in-law and said, “Did you see the ball?”
“Of course. I did! It is about 100 meters away,” replied the brother-in-law, “My eyesight is perfect.”
“Where did it go? Is it a hole-in-one?” asked Norman.
“What? Wait a minute. Where did what go? Do I know you?”
