They sat without talking for a while , then the farmer said , “ Let’s do something to pass the time .”
“ What do you want to do ?” the teacher asked .
“ We can ask each other riddles (谜语 ),” the farmer said, “ You start.”
“ Let’s make the rules first ,” the teacher said . “ And to make the game more interesting , let’s play it for money . If we don’t know the answer to the riddle , we have to pay a dollar .”

The farmer said , “ If you don’t know the answer to a riddle ,you pay me 100 dollars .If I don’t know the answer to the riddle , I’ll pay you 50 dollars.”
The teacher thought for a while , then he said , “ OK. That’s fair . Who’ll go first ?”
“I will ,” the farmer said . “ Here’s my riddle . What has three legs when it walks , but only two legs when it flies ?”
The teacher thought and thought , “ What has three legs when it walks, but only two when it flies ?” Then he said , “ That’s a good one . I don’t know the answer .” He gave the farmer 100 dollars and said , “ Tell me the answer . What is it ?”
