$20
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
一位著名的演说家举着一张20美元的钞票开始了他的演讲。他问在座的200命听众:“谁想要这20美元?”很多手举了起来。
他说:“我会把这20美元给你们当众的一个。但是,首先,我要这么做。”
于是他将那张20美元的钞票揉成一团。
接着他问道:“谁还想要它?”
那些手还是高高地举着。
“那么,”他回应道,“如果我这么做了呢?”
他将钱扔在地上,开始用鞋碾它。
